No information found here must under any circumstances be used for medical purposes, diagnostically, therapeutically or otherwise. If you, or anybody close to you, is affected, or believe to be affected, by any condition mentioned here: see a doctor. 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.

     Extractions: 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.

     Extractions: 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.

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 Although clinical experience has shown that communicative disorders may markedly contribute to the severity and persistence of depression, psychiatric evaluations of aphasic patients are scarce.
