Abstract

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation rTMS has been used to improve language behavior including naming in stroke patients with chronic nonfluent aphasia Part 1 of this article reviews functional imaging studies related to language recovery in aphasia Part 2 reviews the rationale for using rTMS to treat nonfluent aphasia based on functional imaging and presents our current rTMS protocol We present language results from our rTMS studies as well as imaging results from overt naming functional MRI scans obtained before and after a series of rTMS treatments Part 3 presents results from a pilot study in which rTMS treatments were followed immediately by constraintinduced language therapy Part 4 reviews our diffusion tensor imaging study examining the possible connectivity of the arcuate fasciculus to different parts of Broca’s area pars triangularis pars opercularis and to the ventral premotor cortex The potential role of mirror neurons in the right pars opercularis and ventral premotor cortex in aphasia recovery is discussed
