What Is Aphasia?
Aphasia is an acquired neurogenic language disorder resulting from an injury to the brain, typically the left hemisphere, that affects the functioning of core elements of the language network. One of the common causes of Aphasia is stroke.
Aphasia involves varying degrees of impairment in four primary areas:
- Spoken language expression
- Written expression
- Spoken language comprehension
- Reading comprehension
Aphasia may also result from neurodegenerative disease. For example, primary progressive aphasia is a subtype of frontotemporal dementia in which language capabilities become progressively impaired.
