The nonlinear trajectory of post-stroke aphasia recovery
Mohamed L. Seghier
Post-stroke aphasia recovery is a dynamic process involving neural repair, compensatory reorganization, and behavioral optimization. While diaschisis, a functional disconnection of brain regions remote from the primary lesion, plays a pivotal role in the acute phase of recovery, its resolution and interaction with later stages remain underexplored. This narrative review synthesizes evidence from neuroimaging, neurophysiological, and clinical studies to integrate current understanding of post-str
