What is Transcortical sensory aphasia?

What is Transcortical sensory aphasia?

Transcortical sensory aphasia (TSA) is characterized by impaired auditory comprehension with intact repetition and fluent speech. We induced TSA transiently by electrical interference during routine cortical function mapping in six adult seizure patients.

4. Don’t shout if the person isn’t hard-of-hearing.

Where is Transcortical aphasia?

Transcortical sensory aphasia is caused by lesions in the inferior left temporal lobe of the brain located near Wernicke’s area, and is usually due to minor hemorrhage or contusion in the temporal lobe, or infarcts of the left posterior cerebral artery (PCA).

What is the difference between Wernicke’s aphasia and transcortical sensory aphasia?

Unlike Wernicke’s aphasics, however, patients with transcortical sensory aphasia have preserved repetition, as they are able to repeat words, sentences of considerable length and complexity, and even words in languages they do not speak.

Which is the best description of Wernicke’s aphasia?

Wernicke’s (Receptive) Aphasia. In Wernicke’s aphasia, the ability to grasp the meaning of spoken words and sentences is impaired, while the ease of producing connected speech is not very affected. Therefore Wernicke’s aphasia is also referred to as ‘fluent aphasia’ or ‘receptive aphasia’.

What kind of aphasia do people with Broca’s have?

Broca’s (Expressive) Aphasia. Individuals with Broca’s aphasia have trouble speaking fluently but their comprehension can be relatively preserved. This type of aphasia is also known as non-fluent or expressive aphasia.

What happens when you have receptive aphasia after a stroke?

Expressive or receptive aphasia can occur after stroke and impairs one’s ability to express or understand language. Reading and writing can be effected as well. Expressive language disorders cause difficulty in articulating or saying words, but there is often good comprehension and understanding of spoken language.

How is aphasia related to receptive language disorder?

Aphasia and Stroke. Expressive language disorders cause difficulty in articulating or saying words, but there is often good comprehension and understanding of spoken language. Receptive language disorders, on the other hand, cause impairment in one’s ability to understand language thus comprehension may be poor.
