Wernicke's aphasia

Patients who recover from Wernicke's aphasia report that, while aphasic, they found the speech of others to be unintelligible.

Patients affected with Wernicke's aphasia produce meaningless sentences such as "Feel very well.

The basic features of Wernicke's aphasia are:

Receptive aphasia in which such abilities are preserved is also known as Wernicke's aphasia.

Most students and practitioners regard paragrammatism as the morphosyntactic "leitsymptom" of Wernicke's aphasia.

Although preferable to Wernicke's aphasia, certainly, in which one babbled volubly, unaware that one was making no sense at all.

Findings indicated that, in support of the hypothesis, the capacity and resources available to patients with Wernicke's aphasia to procure appropriate gap filling remain intact.

The symptoms of Wernicke's Aphasia reveal how important language is because people with the aphasia cannot express their thoughts.

Wernicke's aphasia is characterized by fluent language with made up or unnecessary words with little or no meaning to speech.

This problem is exactly what patients with Wernicke's aphasia have in their own language: they can't isolate significant sound characteristics and classify them into known meaningful systems.

In Wernicke's aphasia, for example, lesions in a section of the brain called the postcentral gyrus interfere with speech comprehension.

Receptive aphasia (also known as Wernicke's aphasia) is the term for the disorder occurring upon damage to a patient's Wernicke's area.

We will begin by describing Broca's aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia, and then go on to describe other frequently seen forms of aphasia.

The pattern of symptoms exhibited in Wernicke's aphasia is in many respects exactly the opposite of that shown in Broca's aphasia.

Thus, unambiguous cases of Broca's aphasia, Wernicke's aphasia, conduction aphasia, and anomic aphasia were selected.

In this experiment, Zurif, Swinney and Garret built upon existing research on language processing errors in Broca's and Wernicke's aphasia patients.

Examples of these fluent aphasias include receptive or Wernicke's aphasia, anomic aphasia, conduction aphasia, and transcortical sensory aphasia, among others.

Receptive aphasia also known as Wernicke's aphasia, receptive aphasia is a fluent aphasia that is categorized by damage to the temporal lobe region of the brain.

Those with left hemisphere damage (LHD), in areas ranging from the frontal lobe to the occipital lobe, exhibited both Broca's and Wernicke's aphasia symptoms.

A patient with Wernicke's aphasia can and may speak a great deal, but he or she confuses sound characteristics, producing "word salad" in extreme cases: intelligible words that appear to be strung together randomly.

From 1869 he published several papers on speech disorders, describing a visual and later an auditory word centre, as well as word blindness and word deafness (later known as Wernicke's aphasia).

Wernicke's aphasia is found in the dominant hemisphere of the posterior gyrus of the first temporal convolution of the brain, whereas Broca's aphasia is found anterior to the Wernicke's area.

For example, case studies have been performed with German speakers, which demonstrated that 30.8% of paraphasias occurred at the beginning of the word in patients with Wernicke's aphasia and 22.6% for patients with Broca's aphasia.

Damage to the posterior portion of the left hemisphere's superior and middle temporal lobe or gyrus and the temporoparietal cortex can produce a lesion to Wernicke's area and may cause fluent aphasia, or Wernicke's aphasia.

Both areas were subsequently formally named for their founders and disruptions of an individual's language production or comprehension due to trauma or malformation in these areas have come to commonly be known as Broca's aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia.
