[@kausarsahebzda6719]

The best acadmy

[@earlmelvin4635]

Thank you so much for this. It has been a year since I had my stroke. Aphasia, apraxia, etc. have been very difficult for me. This video shows there are so many facets to our brain.

[@somiyasaxena1419]

Hello, I have brain stroke from 3 months. I am aphasia and have your words for this.,. What should I do?

[@zain4019]

somiya saxena I don’t have any advice on what to do, but I wish you all the best.

[@teresacullen5687]

Brain healing frequency s helped me also throat signing .also exercise s to strengthen throat muscles also yoga breath work helps hope is of some help 🧐💜

[@obuyWw]

brilliant illustration

[@jessihurd4967]

This is a great explanation, especially for those who suffer from aphasia. A family member had a stroke several years ago and suffers from aphasia, she has been fighting ever since to understand what happened to her and to be able to explain to others. Having aphasia makes this very difficult. Videos like this are very helpful, so thank you!

[@armintoghi6769]

awsome

[@siam4228]

Can you please explain the "Model of single-word processing for auditory and written word perception and production. Including processes involved in picture naming." And levels of breakdown and impact? Pleeeeeease

[@educationist8410]

Good

[@simplifymedicine2810]

soonice tq

[@misseve5992]

may i demand more videos from you? :D

[@overbank56]

this may explain why I have trouble saying certain things or explaining myself. I've been told it's the way my brain is "wired"

[@rubaomar2673]

Can you help with the references about neurolinguistics I need them

[@marjoriepolo7591]

Hope there's a subtitle

[@positivevibes7425]

Do wernicke's area receive signals from ipsilsteral side of body or contralateral?

[@martinlutherkingjr.5582]

What could cause problems in the wernicke’s area besides a stroke? Could someone be born with a deficit in the wernicke’s area? What would that be called?

[@samuraisoul2]

My stroke wiped out my ability to read! My ability to recognize letters and read them correctly was scrambled. Is there an aphasia type for that? Technology help me compensate and I'd be worse off if this stroke had happened before the appearance of tech tools to help me compensate.

[@samuraisoul2]

There was also less drastic speech imparement, trouble finding words, etc.

[@audriebeth01]

David, there is a term for impaired reading after a stroke - Alexia. It’s encompassed in Aphasia because it typically occurs after a stroke and impacts language processing. In the case of Alexia, the brain finds it more difficult to process words when they are presented in writing, as opposed to being verbally spoken. There is also Agraphia, a language disorder in which people may find it difficult to write. I’m glad you are able to use technology to compensate for alexia. It’s also something that can be targeted in speech therapy, if that’s something you are doing!

[@samuraisoul2]

Audrie, Thanks so much for your reply and for putting a name to my veriest of Aphasia. Considering how I could have been damage by my stroke, I count myself lucky indeed to get away with Alexia. Thanks for reaching out!

[@gabumonboys]

Can someone be born with ipsilateral brain control?? And how would they act/perform at tasks?

[@chezylling1919]

Excellent! Thank you for that concised knowledge and information you shared to us. :-)

[@barfgreenrulz]

What are possible reasons for not being able to produce thought via speaking? My problem is being stunned or drawing complete blanks when I am supposed to talk but the words come much more vividly when I write. I am left handed, and never liked speaking. In fact, it causes me stress at times.

[@teresacullen5687]

Thank you brain healing frequency s have helped me recover the right side of my body sometimes brain get split through been traumatized through gaslighters abuse in spiritual level causes trauma . I have recovered thanks to my guides send me healing through this traumatic time my right side heart about to collapse damage to heart at all levels . They use me as pawn in their game called names in public shop theatre when I return d to work they took my car run me into ground with phnewmonia my guides wake me up to show me the trauma they caused .stroke was nothing compared to know wat others do to one person .🧐

[@jannassary]

[@KenzieNHammerly]

What about expression aphasia

[@Ava-oc1dg]

Is this what happens after stroke?

[@milplayer17]

I have a hard time thinking of what to say and how to keep convo going. I want to be able to talk like a public speaker. What could be the issue?

[@paultembo1477]

Get rid of fear

@@paultembo1477 its not fear . Its a broad range of things to talk about that i lack

[@kalsoomshah877]

we the english students also studying it

[@MiaLopezdevos]

I don`t get it, if you`re a split brain patient, how come your hemispheres can control the contralateral parts of your body? Motor commands get sent from the (for example) right hemisphere to the left side of your brain through the corpus callosum, right?

[@jawharahh.5222]

No it doesn't, your motor commands don't go through your corpus callosum, It is just like that your left hemisphere controls the right side of your body contralaterally because motor fibers (which carry the motor commands from your brain) cross to the opposite side in their way down to the spinal cord and to be specific this crossing occurs (in the medulla of the brain-stem) has nothing to do with the corpus callosum which is just a group of fibers that allows your two hemispheres to communicate with each other, I know your comment is 2 yrs ago but I hope I helped even though it's late.

[@MrBrownnn696]

I have ahpisia an I just wanna know were I can get help to improve in my reading an writing

I need how to sharpyngBrain in old People The Magazine gave this a dress to get this...

[@kavitakavii3263]

Good information you are spreding. Having dysphasia is a very bad phase. It is an inability of communicating properly. I also had this problem. But after consulting Planet Ayurveda. I get rid of this problem.

[@bakeryssoul]

jumbled speech = word salad (word-nicke's aphasia)

[@duqan9060]

Language spelled out looks wrong

[@MrHemchandra]

can you help. patient lost ability to speak due to brain injury and clot formation. Clot is being dissolved with medicine. what should be done to recover speech. Everything like thinking, understanding, writing, understanding of different languages are all okay.. only thought can't be produced to words. help help help 😭😭😭😭

[@chips.3927]

I'm 14 years old and i have the exact same symptons, but i want to ask, i only have these symptons but when i speak english, my native language is Indonesia so do i have Aphagsia or not? I keep mispelling word such as if i want to say but i kept saying buy, and also if i want to say chicken i say fish instead of chicken, but it's only english language not Indonesia, how to fix this and is this really an Apgasia? Becuase my parents keep laughing at me saying " Your just bad at english lol, you keep being mad you should go to Physcologist doctor instead to check if you are stupid or not " i am very sad if this is really Apgasia, pls tell :'(

[@amrshahin8233]

First if you are good enough in your native language so that's reassuring that your problem most probably is not linked to an organic problem in your brain. My thought is that your problem is more about practicing the second language as much as you can in terms of listening (such as movies and series), reading and speaking. If you started learning English recently so you might find difficulty as you describe but with practicing you are going to be fine. Finally consultation with a neurologist will exclude any abnormality you might have but I don't think at all the young man who wrote such question is "stupid" like your family says. Keep your spirits up man you are intelligent more than many people at your age :)

[@Bella-so2xz]

Why does my daughter 15 understand everything I tell her but is not able to speak ? Even though she can repeat words and say things when you ask her to say. And some words she makes are approximation other words are clear. How can I make her talk on her own without having to prompt her all the time.

[@D0N4R_]

CGP made it better

[@Kat-wj3jp]

You mentioned that damage to Broca's area can produce "slurred speech" - this is not a symptom of an aphasia, that's dysarthria. Dysarthria = motor speech, aphasia = cognition (ie language).

[@Asma-zc1ye]

broca no spoka Wernike - Word salad
