http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conduction_aphasia

Extractions: Over US$225,000 has been donated since the drive began on 19 August. Thank you for your generosity! Conduction aphasia , also called associative aphasia , is a relatively rare form of aphasia , caused by damage to the nerve fibres in the arcuate fasciculus , which connects Wernicke's and Broca's areas Patients with conduction aphasia show the following characteristics: To understand the symptoms, recall that Broca's area controls expression while Wernicke's area is responsible for comprehension. With both areas intact but the neural connections between them broken, there is the curious condition where the patient can understand what is being said but cannot repeat it back (or repeats it back wrongly). This patient will also end up saying something inappropriate or wrong, realize his/her mistake, but continue making further mistakes on trying to correct it. This medical article is a stub .

Extractions: Meeting of the Faculty, New York Psychoanalytic Institute, June 14, 1995. Presentation on electronic media and psychoanalytic educaton by Dr. William I. Grossman. Dr. Margolis began the discussion of electronic texts by observing that there are many potential research and educational uses of electronic texts, which are just beginning to be explored. Our organization has been on the forefront of this exploration. Our library now has a page on the World Wide Web, which can be accessed via the Internet. The Board of Directors has recently provided funding to Dr. W. Grossman and Dr. J. Crow to build the first prototype of an electronic document in psychoanalysis. This document uses Dr. Grossman's paper, "Hierarchies, Boundaries, and Representation in a Freudian Model of Mental Organization", J.A.P.A., 1992 , as an organizer to trace the development of Freud's models of the mental apparatus. This text will be available for viewing at the upcoming meeting of the International Psychoanalytic Association in San Francisco. Dr. Grossman then described how his current project evolved from his work tracing ideas in and related to Freud's writings, starting with Freud's work On Aphasia. Dr. Grossman has proposed that

Extractions: Aphasia is a language disorder that results from damage to portions of the brain that are responsible for language. For most people, these are parts of the left side (hemisphere) of the brain. Aphasia usually occurs suddenly, often as the result of a stroke or head injury, but it may also develop slowly, as in the case of a brain tumor. The disorder impairs both the expression and understanding of language as well as reading and writing. Aphasia may co-occur with speech disorders such as dysarthria or apraxia of speech, which also result from brain damage. Who has aphasia? Anyone can acquire aphasia, but most people who have aphasia are in their middle to late years. Men and women are equally affected. It is estimated that approximately 80,000 individuals acquire aphasia each year. About one million persons in the United States currently have aphasia. What causes aphasia? Aphasia is caused by damage to one or more of the language areas of the brain. Many times, the cause of the brain injury is a stroke. A stroke occurs when, for some reason, blood is unable to reach a part of the brain. Brain cells die when they do not receive their normal supply of blood, which carries oxygen and important nutrients. Other causes of brain injury are severe blows to the head, brain tumors, brain infections, and other conditions of the brain. In contrast to Broca's aphasia, damage to the temporal lobe may result in a fluent aphasia that is called Wernicke's aphasia. Individuals with Wernicke's aphasia may speak in long sentences that have no meaning, add unnecessary words, and even create new "words." For example, someone with Wernicke's aphasia may say, "You know that smoodle pinkered and that I want to get him round and take care of him like you want before," meaning "The dog needs to go out so I will take him for a walk." Individuals with Wernicke's aphasia usually have great difficulty understanding speech and are therefore often unaware of their mistakes. These individuals usually have no body weakness because their brain injury is not near the parts of the brain that control movement.

Extractions: Aphasia Homepage graphics version Home Accessible Travel Fact Sheets ... Translation Aphasia - Fact Sheet Fact Sheet Organizations Internet Resources Newsgroups ... Listservs Aphasia is a language disorder that results from damage to the portion of the brain that is dominant for language. For most people, this is the left side of the brain. Aphasia usually occurs suddenly, frequently the result of a stroke or head injury, but it may also develop slowly as in the case of a brain tumor. The disorder may involve aspects of language comprehension and/or expression. Aphasia treatment strives to improve an individual's ability to communicate. The most effective treatment begins early in the recovery process. Major factors that influence the amount of improvement include the cause of the brain damage, the area of the brain that was damaged, the extent of the brain injury, and the age and health of the patient. Additional factors include motivation, handedness, and educational level. There are many types of aphasia, however, Broca's aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia are two widely studied aphasic syndromes. Broca's aphasia results from damage to the front portion of the language dominant side of the brain. Wernicke's aphasia results from damage to the back portion of the language dominant side of the brain. Individuals with Broca's aphasia may speak in short, meaningful sentences. They often omit small words such as "as," "and," and "the." Persons with Wernicke's aphasia may speak in long sentences that have no meaning and often add unnecessary words and create new words. Patients with Broca's aphasia are able to comprehend much of the speech of others, but patients with Wernicke's aphasia have notable difficulties understanding speech.

Aphasia, stroke and diabetes make you depressed. I hope I get use to the idea soon! (It's been more than five years!) Margaret, my wife, respond about a man who's wife just had a stoke: " When Lou had his stroke I had no idea what to do or what to expect. One of the biggest things was getting therapy as early a possible. The earlier your wife begins to relearn what she has lost the better she will be. Lou could not speak of anything coherently for the first couple days. He thought he was telling us what he wanted or needed but he did not make any sense. It was slow but he did make progress. He made a lot of progress at the beginning, and slower progress as the weeks and months progressed. The hardest thing for me was to be patient and try to figure out what he was trying to talk about. Often he could tell me all kinds of non essential things about the person he wanted to tell about but not the name of the person. Different stroke victims react differently to stress and pain. You have to remember how frustrating it has to be to try to communicate and not be able to get your thoughts across to the other person.

Extractions: Website: http://www.aphasia.org/ The NAA's mission is to educate the public to know that the word aphasia describes an impairment of the ability to communicate, not an impairment of intellect. The NAA makes people with aphasia, their families, support systems, and health care professionals aware of resources to recover lost skills to the extent possible, to compensate for skills that will not be recovered and to minimize the psychosocial impact of the language impairment. Aphasia List The Aphasia mailing list was set up to share information, experiences, questions, knowledge, feelings, etc. etc. with respect to Aphasia. Aphasia is a language disorder caused by damage to the brain, e.g. by a CVA ('stroke')or by head trauma.A lthough communication will be in written English which may be a problem for many persons with Aphasia, they are specifically encouraged to join and contribute to the list.
