Behavioral speech-language therapy (SLT) is the most effective and widely used approach for treating post-stroke aphasia. While effective on average, individual variability in treated recovery continues to be problematic for the development of personalized treatment protocols. Recent research shows that many individuals show a selective response to one treatment paradigm over another, highlighting the need to consider individual and treatment-specific factors—and their interaction—as guides in personalized treatment planning. However, prognostic factors for treatment success remain elusive and understudied.

CBR Seminar Series: Sofia Vallila Rohter, January 27, 2025 Title: Rehabilitation as Learning: Examining learning and strategy use in people with aphasia Abstract: Linguistic deficits are central to the diagnosis and treatment of aphasia, yet there is increasing recognition of the cognitive processes that contribute to rehabilitation outcomes, particularly the role of learning. Our […]

CBR Seminar Series: Holly Robson, December 16, 2024 Title: Speech comprehension impairments in Wernicke’s-type aphasia. Can basic science open pathways to new interventions? Abstract: Wernicke’s aphasia is characterized by significant impairments in speech comprehension. When it persists into the chronic stage following a stroke, it is often highly resistant to therapeutic interventions. This talk […]

CBR Seminar Series: Erin Meier, November 25, 2024 Title: Leveraging Wearable Technologies to Increase Ecological Validity of Aphasia Assessment Abstract: A central assumption about language assessments commonly used in research and speech-language pathology practice is that they capture the communication challenges people with aphasia (PWA) face in everyday life. Similarly, neuroimaging paradigms of semantics, […]

CBR Seminar Series: Andrew DeMarco, September 9, 2024 Title: Innovation and interpretability in lesion-symptom mapping Abstract: Interpretability permits us to confidently link findings from our imaging analysis results back to what we know about neurology and neuroscience, with the goal of addressing cognitive neuroscience questions and, ultimately, informing neurorehabilitation efforts. While innovation in advanced bioinformatics […]

CBR Seminar Series: Valentina Perosa, May 13, 2024 Title: Interaction Between Microvascular and AD-related pathology in the Medial Temporal Lobe Abstract: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), which includes cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and arteriolosclerosis, often co-occurs with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. The medial temporal lobe is susceptible to hosting multiple AD pathologies, such as […]
