Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Nearly one-third of stroke patients develop aphasia. Although the function of classical language areas (e.g., Broca's area, Wernicke's area) has been widely characterized, the network reorganization mechanisms behind specific language dysfunctions induced by different aphasia subtypes and the biomarkers for a rapid and objective classification remain to be clarified. Additionally, the rapid classification of aphasia subtypes continues to be a clinical challenge.
