Wernicke's aphasia Also known as: Bastian's aphasia Pick-Wernicke syndrome (Arnold Pick) Wernicke's aphasic syndrome Kozhevnikov-Wernicke aphasia Synonyms: Auditory receptive aphasia, auditory verbal agnosia, cortical sensory aphasia, cortical word deafness, receptive aphasia, sensory aphasia, temporoparietal aphasia, word deafness. 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.

> Neural Magazine Aphasia and Parrhesia: Code and Speech in the Neural Topographies of the Net. Christina McPhee This paper allegorizes traumatized visualization and speech as an electronic topology. She owes much to Metropolis: I wonder about who might be inside the invisible city, attempting to move about surreptitiously, ducking surveillance: this time not a sinister mechanistic double, but now, a live being, who really comes into life through code, her amniotic fluid, into a neural topology that shifts across boundaries and checkpoints, that keeps crashing and coming back, a city on fire in the darkness of the electronic labyrinth [1]. Imagine cyberspace, like music, a neural landscape. How is a cyborg's cage a familiar memory. How is it alien, like repression content for which we long but cannot assimilate and understand. What are the conditions of entrapment. What happens when neurons diminish into darkness. What happens as she runs out of time. Might we think of her predicament as a left hemisphere stroke. The pathways of memory erode and lose definition. She has only moments of brilliance and her speech is scattered. Self-aware, she is fluent in fragments. Meshed in by software lesions, her right brain transposes. Sounds and flashes set and reset in recursive loops. Aphasia/Ellipsis, a performance installation, contemplates the double, or

Med.Sci 532 Structure-Function Broca Aphasia Aphasia is defined by Websters Dictionary as a "loss or impairment of the power to use or comprehend words usually resulting from brain damage." In most people the Broca's area is in the lower part of the left frontal lobe. It is one of the main language areas in the cerebral cortex because it controls the motor aspects of speech. Persons with a Broca aphasia can usually understand what words mean, but have trouble performing the motor or output aspects of speech. Thus, other names for this disorder are 'expressive' and 'motor' aphasia. Depending on the severity of the lesion to Broca's area, the symptoms can range from the mildest type (cortical dysarthria) with intact comprehension and the ability to communicate through writing to a complete loss of speaking out loud.

Occurrence of aphasia Aphasia is a common consequence of stroke, the reported prevalence ranging up to one third of the patients in the acute phase (Kotila et al . 1984, Reinvang et al . 1984, Wade et al . 1986). Spontaneous recovery of aphasia is at its greatest during the first 3 months, but some improvement may take place even later on (Demeurisse et al . 1980, Kotila et al . 1984, Wade et al et al et al . 1995), and a valid prognosis of aphasia can usually be made within the first month after stroke (Pedersen et al et al 2.3.2.

Search People Departments Aphasia - Assessment Purposes of Language Assessment Differential Diagnosis - It is necessary to determine whether a patient's language dysfunction is aphasia or something else. Does the patient possess a speech or language impairment? Is this impairment aphasia? If the primary disorder is aphasia, what is its type and severity? Determination of Level of Functional Communication Primary reason is obtaining information initially and at subsequent intervals is to provide a reasonable basis for the design and implementation of an individual treatment program. On the basis of the appraisal one determines the: modalities of most efficient input and output the level of response of which the patient is capable at what level he succeeds at what level he fails Plan a program of stimulation in order to facilitate optimal input and make possible maximum response and improvement. What is the prognosis for recovery? Localization of Brain Lesion - Detailed information about language performance may provide some hint regarding the locus of a patient's cerebral lesion. The importance of language data has significantly decreased by the development of advanced electrophysiologic and radiologic techniques. Appraisal Battery Motor Speech Battery - Evaluating motor speech indicates the presence or absence of coexisting apraxia and/or dysarthria.

Her fleeting glance reflected a significant improvement in the eye-contact stakes. "How can I know what a choir means?" she rasped. "A choir is a whole bunch of singers, right? Their songs don't mean anything...because you can't understand them right, because they all sing at once." She scowled bleakly for emphasis, adolescence looming. "Not that sort of 'a choir' - I mean this sort of 'acquire'." I wrote it down. Something you didn't have before "Oh!" she said, " Acquire . Acquire means you've got something you didn't have before. When I pick things up at the bank, dad says, "Where did you acquire all those forms? But I don't tell him because he already knows they're from the bank.

The Residential Aphasia Program (RAP) is committed to providing state of the art, intensive aphasia therapy for adults with language disorders. Following a comprehensive evaluation, adults usually attend five days per week for a six-week period. Typically, each week the client participates in 23 hours of therapy: 15 hours of individual therapy, 5 hours of group therapy and 3 hours of computer assisted training. The Program can be modified in length and intensity as needed. As an extension of the intensive therapy program, UCLL offers a Language Enrichment Group (LEG) for residents of the Greater Ann Arbor community that is available for RAP client participation as well. Individual Therapy Individual therapy sessions focus on the rehabilitation of speaking, listening, reading and writing, as well as associated problem areas such as memory deficits. Goals are individualized and may target the recovery of specific functions or the development of alternative compensatory strategies, such as gesturing, drawing and augmentative devices. Group Therapy Small group therapy sessions offer individuals opportunities to apply new communication skills to conversational contexts. A therapist mediates these interactions and supports each person in the assimilation of individualized goals for conversational participation.
