Upregulating action semantics to facilitate naming in aphasia

Brief description of study

The goal of this research is to improve the likelihood of aphasia treatment success by activating brain networks that can compensate for language impairment. We will use non-invasive brain stimulation and gesture-priming paradigms to encourage activation of action knowledge (semantics), which we predict will in turn boost verb retrieval. We will furthermore examine this possibility in patients with anterior versus posterior lesions.
