66. Aphasia - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
    aphasia. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. aphasia is a loss or impairmentof the ability to produce or comprehend language, due to brain damage.  
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphasia
    
    Extractions: Aphasia is a loss or impairment of the ability to produce or comprehend language, due to brain damage. It is usually a result of damage to the language centres of the brain and can be caused by a stroke or physical injury. Depending on the area and extent of the damage, someone may be able to speak but not write, or vice versa, or understand more complex sentences than they can produce. The brains of young children with brain damage sometimes restructure themselves to use different areas for speech processing, and regain lost function; adult brains are less "plastic" and lack this ability. Any of the following can be considered aphasia:

    aphasia. Definition of aphasia. There are three forms of aphasia. Thefirst, Broca s aphasia of others. Causes of aphasia. As mentioned  
    http://www.tesarta.com/www/resources/library/aphasia.html
    
    Extractions: There are three forms of aphasia. The first, Broca's aphasia , involves damage to the front part of the left hemisphere of the brain. This results in labored, stilted speech in which the speaker drops words and can only speak in short sentences. The second form, Wernicke's aphasia , is a result of damage to the rear part of the left hemisphere of the brain. Wernicke's aphasia results in speech that uses the wrong words, nonsense words and the like. People with Wernicke's aphasia can speak as if fluently (no stopping, no labor), but the words often come out strange. People with this aphasia also have difficulty understanding the speech of others. The third form of aphasia is global aphasia , which is damage to the entire hemisphere, and results in a combination of Broca's and Wernicke's forms of aphasia. It results in severe limitations of speech and a general inability to comprehend the language of others. As mentioned above, aphasias are caused by damage to the left side of the brain. This is most usually the result of some kind of trauma (say, an axe to the head), but can also be produced by internal lesions (from aneurysms breaking or other hemhorrages) and brain tumors. Now, and even more likely in the future, it is possible to slowly regain some amount of speech capability. The brain is remarkably capable of using other parts of the brain for tasks normally reserved for other areas of the brain. This is most prevalent in children with brain damage, but adults have had some success as well.

    Extractions: You know what I am talking about....communicate! That's right, all these animals can communicate. They can exchange information with one another. Although these animals can communicate, do they have LANGUAGE Some scientists have argued that language is what sets humans apart from all other animals. Other researchers wonder if humans are really the only species with language . Certainly other animals communicate ...bees have the ability to communicate with other bees using their special "dance." However, human language is more than just communication. Humans use symbols that have meaning. It is possible that apes have the ability to learn and communicate with language . However, not all scientists believe that apes have "real" language. Apes cannot talk because they do not have the necessary anatomy in their mouths and throats to speak. However, they apparently can learn to use symbols to communicate.

Care at Home D Aphasia is a life-disabling condition usually caused by stroke or head injury or other neurological condition. The resultant communication difficulties will generally mean that the person with aphasia will find it very hard or impossible to undertake many everyday activities such as shopping, making a telephone call, reading, following a film or joining in a conversation. Someone with aphasia may have problems with any one, or more, of the following: Aphasia is a complex condition. It affects each person differently and may be hardly noticeable or very severe. A person with aphasia's communication difficulties can also change from day to day or even hour to hour. They are likely to be worse when tired, unwell or under pressure. People with aphasia have described the experience as being: "locked inside my own head"

    Extractions: Aphasia Return to NU Neurology Curriculum Please read our Aphasia: loss or impairment of language secondary to brain damage. Aphasia is somewhat fuzzily distinguished from dysarthria, which designates a motor speech disturbance (e.g. weakness of the tongue or lips, cerebellar disorder causing slurred speech). Linguistic defintions: Semantic meaning of words. Syntax structural relation between words. Grammar rules for combinations between words. Broca's aphasia. Also known as "expressive aphasia". Characterized by nonfluent, effortful speech with dysarthria. Comprehension usually good. No paraphasic erros. Typically caused by frontal lobe lesion. Typical task on examination that they fail is to repeat sentence "no ifs, ands or buts about it". These patients may only have (for example), a single word left in their vocabulary. Aphemia means mute but writes fluently. Wernicke's aphasia. Also known as receptive aphasia. A fluent effortless speech with frequent use of wrong or nonexistent words and improper word usage. Poor comprehension and repetition. Typically from dominant temporal lobe lesion. Patients may "jam", meaning understand several words than then understand no more. Conduction aphasia. Unable to repeat. Posterior temporal or inferior parietal lobe. About 10% of all aphasia. No pressure of speech.
