Brain regions underlying repetition and auditory-verbal short-term memory deficits in aphasia: Evidence from voxel-based lesion system mapping

摘要

The goal of this study was to identify the neural correlates of repetition anda related process, auditory-verbal short-term memory (AVSTM). Both repetition and 15AVSTM involve common elements such as auditory and phonological analysis and translationto speech output processes. Based on previous studies, we predicted that bothrepetition and AVSTM would be most dependent on posterior language regions in lefttemporo-parietal cortex.
