Ipsilesional and contralesional regions participate in the improvement of poststroke aphasia: a transcranial direct current stimulation study
2015
In the past few years, noninvasive cerebral stimulations have been used to modulate language task performance in healthy and aphasic patients. In this study, a dual transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on anterior and posterior language areas was applied for 2 weeks to a patient with a possible crossed aphasia following a right hemisphere stroke. Inhibitory cathodal stimulation of the right Brodmann areas (BA) 44/45 and simultaneous anodal stimulation of the left BA 44/45 improved the patient’s performance in picture naming. Conversely, the same bilateral montage on BA 39/40 did not produce any significant improvement; finally, electrode polarity inversion over BA 39/40 yielded a fu…
Emergency MRI in Clinical Peracute Brain Stem and Hemispheric Stroke
1998
We show the capability and results of MRI examinations of peracute brainstem and hemispheric stroke patients in clinical emergency situations. The hypothesis that CT scan is faster and more accurate under this conditions is to be disproved.
