No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In a randomized controlled trial, efficacy of low-frequency, inhibitory rTMS will be examined in rehabilitation of acquired aphasia. Two cortical sites will be targeted: Right-hemispheric homologues of Broca's and Wernicke's areas.

In addition to cognitive screening prior to onset of rTMS, language assessments will be conducted before, during and after the intervention. An eyetracking-while-listening experiment will also be conducted before and after the intervention to investigate morphosyntactic processing.
