“…Improved understanding at this level could potentially better inform theoretically motivated treatment approaches. The potential to identify therapyinduced areas of activation is encouraging based upon the studies conducted to date (e.g., Belin et al, 1996;Breier, Maher, Schmadeke, Hasan, & Papanicolaou, 2007;Cornelissen et al, 2003;Farias, Davis, & Harrington, 2006;Léger et al, 2002;Meinzer, Wienbruch, Djundja, Barthel, & Rockstroh, 2004;Musso et al, 1999;Pulvermüller, Hauk, Zohsel, Neininger, & Mohr, 2005;Richter, Miltner, & Straube, 2008;Small, Flores, & Noll, 1998;Wierenga et al, 2006). For example, Meinzer et al (2004), using magnetoencephalography (MEG), found evidence for changes in perilesional activity, which was correlated with the amount of change in language functions after treatment in a large group of patients with chronic aphasia.…”

Neural changes after phonological treatment for anomia: An fMRI study

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to investigate the neural processing characteristics associated with word retrieval abilities after a phonologically-based treatment for anomia in two stroke patients with aphasia. Neural activity associated with a phonological and a semantic task was compared before and after treatment with fMRI. In addition to the two patients who received treatment, two patients with aphasia who did not receive treatment and 10 healthy controls were also scanned twice. In the two patients who received treatment, both of whose naming improved after treatment, results showed that activation patterns changed after treatment on the semantic task in areas that would have been expected (e.g., left hemisphere frontal and temporal areas). For one control patient, there were no significant changes in brain activation at the second scan; a second control patient showed changes in brain activation at the second scan, on the semantic task, however, these changes were not accompanied with improved performance in naming. In addition, there appeared to be bilateral, or even more right than left hemisphere brain areas activated in this patient than in the treated patients. The healthy control group showed no changes in activation at the second scan. These findings are discussed with reference to the literature on the neural underpinnings of recovery after treatment for anomia in aphasia.

“…These dissociations provide an excellent example of how the rich semantically imbued long-term memory associated with free-drawing (house, tree or person), and which are hypothesized to access the lexical route, might surpass via lexicosemantic priming the limited performance capacity of the slavish line-by-line copying pathway used for nonverbalizable nonsense figures. The findings of 2B are perhaps not surprising since Farias and colleagues' (2006) study of aphasics provided fMRI and behavioral evidence of priming and facilitation effects on access to the naming system specifically with drawing as opposed to writing [54]. What is all the more interesting is that despite large lesions subjects 2B, 5B and 6B did not demonstrate constructional apraxia -(see Figure 3).…”

Abstract:Constructional apraxia is a neuropsychological and neurological impairment in activities such as building, assembling, and drawing. In this study data is presented on the performance of left and right hemisphere single focal stroke lesion participants on drawing tasks of houses, trees, and persons. Forty-one participants completed a comprehensive neuropsychological battery including the house-tree-person drawing task. The drawings were then rated as exhibiting signs of neurological impairment or non-impairment by three evaluators without knowledge of the medical condition of the patient. There was 72% agreement between the three evaluators of the 123 drawings. Both an analysis of variance and case series analysis was used to examine the data. Patterns of concordance with a previously outlined detailed neuropsychological model of constructional apraxia were found and the implications of the results are analyzed in the context of the current neuropsychological literature.

“…Unexpectedly, the authors found activation in the left ventral premotor area (Brodmann area 44, the posterior part of Broca's area) and the right (and to a lesser degree in the left) posterior temporal gyrus in addition to the bilateral parietal activation (Makuuchi, et al, 2003). These two regions were repeatedly reveled co-activated in the subsequent fMRI studies on drawing (Farias, et al, 2006;Harrington, et al, 2009;Miall, et al, 2009;Schaer, et al, 2012;Yuan and Brown, 2015). Because of their anatomical locations, we reason they are connected by the arcuate fasciculus which subserves language (Catani, et al, 2007).…”
