Associated persons: Henry Charlton Bastian Alexis Yakovlievich Kozhevnikov Arnold Pick Carl Wernicke Description: The aphasia syndrome, as described by Wernicke in 1908, consists of loss of comprehension of spoken language, loss of ability to read (silently) and write, and distortion of articulate speech. Hearing is intact. The affected persons may speak fluently with a natural language rhythm, but the result has neither understandable meaning nor syntax. Despite the loss of comprehension, the word memory is preserved and words are often chosen correctly. Alexia, agraphia, acalculia, and paraphasia are frequently associated. Some patients are euphoric and/or paranoid. The disorder is due to cortical lesions in the posterior portion of the left first temporal convolution.

Research Areas and Faculty Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) Program Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) is a form of dementia that can occur in individuals under the age of 65, sometimes as early as in the 40’s. "Aphasia" is a deficit in the capacity to use language for communication and it is evident in speaking, undertsanding what others are saying, naming common objects, reading and writing. PPA begins very gradually and is initially experienced as difficulty thinking of common words while speaking or writing. However, there are individual differences and the first symptoms can involve any aspect of language functioning. The NADC PPA Program is a 3-4 day, comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of Primary Progressive Aphasia. Over the course of the examination, we may determine that PPA is not the correct diagnosis and will make appropriate recommendations in that event. The PPA Program consists of four main components:

The Neuroscience on the Web Series: CMSD 636 Neuropathologies of Language and Cognition CSU, Chico, Patrick McCaffrey, Ph.D Unit 10. Aphasia: Therapy Several different therapeutic approaches, including behavior modification cognitive therapy combinations of behavioral and cognitive methods, and pragmatic approaches Fitz Gerald, 1996 looks at neural plasticity in recovery from brain injury. He described neural plasticity in monkeys and lower mammalsafter lesions in the motor cortex. Recovery was attributed to a change in allegiance of cell columns near the lesion. These cells took on the motor function of the damaged neurons. According to Fitz Gerald. P. 235 "it is possible to enlarge the motor territory of a patch of cortex merely by injecting a GABA antagonist drug locally into the cortex." Operant conditioning , a form of behavior modification was the first type of therapy used to remediate aphasia. This approach involves shaping language behavior by helping patients progress through a series of tasks presented in fixed order, from least to most difficult. Schuell was the first to take a cognitive approach to aphasia therapy. She proposed that an extended period of intensive stimulation would improve the quality of the aphasic's language behavior. Because it was believed at the time that language was naturally learned through the auditory modality alone, Schuell emphasized the use of auditory stimuli. More recently, Joseph Duffy, in Chapey, 1996, has written an excellent chapter that modifies and improves upon Schuell's approach. As it is now known that input from all modalities contributes to language learning, Duffy suggests a multi-modality approach to rehabilitation for the aphasic patient. Chapey (1994) recommends among other things, the use of

For More Information What Is Aphasia? Aphasia (uh-fay'-zhuh) is a communication disorder that can affect a person's ability to use and understand spoken or written words. It results from damage to the side of the brain dominant for language. For most people, this is the left side. Aphasia usually occurs suddenly and often results from a stroke or head injury, but it can also develop slowly because of a brain tumor, an infection, or dementia. Top Types of Aphasia There are many different classification systems for aphasia and many different types of aphasia within each system. Some systems are based primarily on the location of the lesion, while others are based solely on the person's behavior. One system adopted by the National Aphasia Association divides aphasia into two broad categories: fluent and non-fluent aphasia.

The Neuroscience on the Web Series: CMSD 636 Neuropathologies of Language and Cognition CSU, Chico, Patrick McCaffrey, Ph.D Unit 7. Specific Syndromes: The Nonfluent Aphasias Broca's Aphasia This is the most common of the nonfluent aphasias. In older literature, it is called verbal aphasia (Head, 1926), motor aphasia (Goldstein, 1933), and efferent motor aphasia (Luria, 1964) . It is named after Paul Broca (1865), a French physician. According to FitzGerald,1996, the principal output from Broca's area is to cell columns in the tongue and face areas of the precentral gyrus. Site of Lesion The lesion that causes Broca's aphasia affects the third frontal convolution (both the gyrus and the sulcus) of the left frontal lobe. This location is called Broca's area . It corrosponds to Brodmann's areas 44 and 45 . According to Brookshire (1997) it makes up the lower part of the pre-motor cortex. The damage often extends down into the white matter and, in some cases, extends posteriorly to the most i nferior part of the motor strip (Goodglass and Kaplan (2001).

While mostly associated with stroke, traumatic brain injury, brain tumors or infections can cause it. Severity of aphasia can run from mild to severe and can be transient or it can be permanent. There are several variations of Aphasia Global Aphasia This most severe form of aphasia leaves patients with little ability to form comprehensible language, or to understand written or spoken language. They are left unable to read or write. Broca's Aphasia Patients with this type of aphasia produce speech that is very limited and requires a lot of effort. They can usually read and understand speech well, but are left unable to write. Mixed Non-fluent Aphasia This is similar to Broca's aphasia with effortful speech but these patients also have limited comprehension. Reading and writing are also severely affected.
