possible symptom where person has an isolated loss of ability to articulate words with intact ability for spoken and written language

most commonly affected areas in transcortical motor

Answer 8

areas connecting the supplementary motor cortex and brocas’ area; areas anterior and superior to broca’s area; supplementary motor cortex; white matter pathways underneat the supplementary motor area

Question 9

most common affected bloody supple of transcortical motor

Answer 9

anterior cerebral artery or anterior branches of middle cerebral artery

Question 12

most sever form of aphasia with a geneeralixed effct on comminication skills

Answer 12

global aphasia

global aphasia deficits

Answer 13

deficits in both comp and expression

Question 14

list fluent aphasias

Answer 14

wernicke’s, conduction, transcortical sensory, anomic

Question 15

most commonly affected areas in wernickes aphasia

Answer 15

posterior 3rd of superior temporal gyrus

Question 16

primary temproal lobe lesion deficits in wernickes

Answer 16

deficits in understanding individual isoleted spoken words but deficits in understanding words in context

Question 17

more posterior temporal lobe lesion

Answer 17

wernickes aphasia

Question 18

wernickes aphasia deficits

Answer 18

-vision
-more deficits in written lang and lang in context
-less deficits with isolated words
-lang comp

Question 19

most commonly affected areas in conduction aphasia

Answer 19

supramarginal gyrus, undelrying white matter pathways, wernicke;s area, laeft insult, and aud cortex

Question 20

caused either due to isolated lesions in alternative white matter bundle in inferior parietal lobe OR a combination of lesion affecting the left primary auditory cortex, insula, and underlying white matter

Answer 20

conduction aphasia

Question 21

conduction can be classified into 2 types

Answer 21

afferent: damage in temporal lobes leading to impaired rep and memory deficits
efferent: parietal and insular lesions causing phonemic deficits

Question 22

fluent type of aphasia with impaired repetition

Answer 22

conduction

most commonly affected areas in anomic aphasia

Answer 23

angular gyrus, second temporal gyrus

Question 24

T/F: anomia is a very common symptom associated with different types of aphasia

Answer 24

TRUE

Question 25

anomic aphasia is caused due to

Answer 25

lesions of angular gyrus or second temporal gyrus

fluent type of aphasia with anomia as the primary symptom

Answer 28

anomic aphasia

Question 29

most commonly affected areas in transcortical sensory aphasia

Answer 29

posterior parieto=temporal, sparing wernickes area, bilateral lesions
