This channel presents lectures on aphasia (language impairment caused by brain damage in adults), rehabilitation after stroke, neuroimaging and neurostimulation methodology, and the neurobiology of language. These lectures were given by researchers and guests in the Center for the Study of Aphasia Recovery (C-STAR). C-STAR houses researchers who examine the effects of factors such as behavioral treatment, brain stimulation, and residual brain function (brain plasticity) on recovery from aphasia. C-STAR is a collaboration between researchers from the University of South Carolina, the Medical University of South Carolina, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of California, Irvine. The Center is funded through the National Institute of Deafness and Communication Disorders (NIDCD) grant #NIH P50 DC014664.
What about the giving of hope in stroke patients? My cousin is cognitively present. But she can’t express what she wants to say. Is she a possible candidate?
Dear Gretchen - if your cousin has aphasia and she is interested in participating in intervention studies, please visit web.asph.sc.edu/aphasia/ for more information.
i have Aphasia. i can type my brain works, but my words are harale. I can write, it looks like i am iin 5th grade. large, small off center, so what type of aphasia do i have? how can i get my words better?
On July 14, 2023, my father had a massive ischemic stroke caused by a clot that got lodged in the middle cerebral artery. As a result of said stroke, my father was left with severe global aphasia (he does not understand or can express any spoken or written language at all), dysphagia (he is being fed through a gastrostomy) and right-side hemiparesis. I kindly ask for your guidance on any medical professionals, organizations, or alike that you may know in South America specializing in rehabilitation of severe global aphasia and dysphagia, since to this day we have not found anyone with any experience on such ailments in Ecuador.
Amazing how aphasic the field is. I know little to nothing about the topic and upon being presented with examples of wernicke and broca's aphasia it was self-evident that they have nothing to do with one another. The medical field is filled with halfsighted neglects.

I love this speaker . My 60yr old wife just had a stroke 5 weeks ago and I'm trying to learn as much as possible on all aspects of what I'm looking at going forward with her care as well as what has been tried , what has worked and what is a possibility for the future . Wife is heading to a rehab facility where she's to get 3hrs of physical and speach therapy. This was helpful to me as it showed me a lot . It explained quite a few questions I had , because sometimes I draw a blank or forget questions when I'm speaking to her neurologist.
Thank you for such a wonderful gift! The process for how syllables become integrated into prosody is incredibly complicated. I have a book you might be interested in... it's called "The Boundary Between Light and Darkness", and it will be out soon. I will send you a free pdf if you like. If you want to know a unique experience concerning the generation of language and the processes involved, then it's a good read.
I'm interested in how Broca’s area functions from both its left hemisphere and its mirror image in the right that becomes further processed according to prosody. It involves the units of motor plans as patterns of muscle movements of language arranged in a linear path that curves across a curved surface, according to prosody. Have you ever heard of such a concept? If so, can you direct me to the research?
The idea that FND/conversion disorder is an old-fashioned idea that has ruined people's lives. They are now finding that only 10-30% of CD is psychiatric and up to 70% or more is due to channelopathies/metabolic disorders.
A little disappointed you didn’t bring on the Irish UFC fighter on for his thoughts on speech apraxia, but still a really valuable and well-organized presentation. It’s almost impossible to find content on progressive AOS, so really appreciated to all!
Very interesting! Thank you so much for posting this. I am on a personal journey to find out how my brain works and the why's of it. All my life I have never thought along the same lines associated many others. At the age of 59 I am learning why I have always been different. Life would have been so much easier had I but known. Again, a very heartfelt thank you for this video.
@Prof Friddrikson & team C Star, your lectures have been truly enlightening !! Clinicians & researchers in Aphasiology from across globe would thank you immensely for sharing this treasure with us 😍🧠🗣️👂🤗
I once believed Alzheimer's disease has no cure.. Well, it is true with western medication, but not with herbal medicine. My Dad's experience opened my eyes to the reality of a cure through herbs. My Father was diagnosed with mild dementia in 2013 but now he's finally free with herbs from Dr. Rohan.. You can reach out with the doctor via dr.rohanronjohn@gmail.com
Paradis 2009 used a DP model for language and said both second language and native speakers use declarative knowledge for naming, single words, and procedural for sentences. Seems to fit with these findings.
