Open AccessDynamic network properties of the superior temporal gyrus mediate the impact of brain age gap on chronic aphasia severity
Brain structure deteriorates with aging and predisposes an individual to more severe language impairments (aphasia) after a stroke. However, the underlying mechanisms of this relation are not well understood. ...
