		Aphasia: Aphasia is the name given to speech disorders whose basis lies in the inability to comprehend or produce speech.
		The characteristics of Wernicke's aphasia are that the sufferer is unable to comprehend speech or speak normally.
		Conduction aphasia: Damasio and Damasio (1980) stated that damage to the inferior parietal lobe that extends into the sub cortical white matter or any damage to the arcuate fasciculus results in conduction aphasia.

		Wernicke's aphasia is caused by damage to the temporal lobe of the language-dominant area of the brain.
		Aphasia is caused by a brain injury, as may occur during a traumatic accident or when the brain is deprived of oxygen during a stroke.
		Wernicke's aphasia is caused by damage to the side portion or temporal lobe of the language-dominant area of the brain.

		Aphasia is impaired expression or comprehension of oral or written language due to acquired brain damage.
		Aphasia is a language rather than a speech disorder, but it may coexist with a speech disorder.
		Aphasia is caused most often by a nonprogressive disorder (eg, stroke, trauma, encephalitis) but sometimes by a progressive disorder (eg, brain tumor).

	Aphasia
		Aphasia is the loss of the ability to speak or understand speech or written language.
		Receptive aphasia affects the input side and "the ability to understand spoken or written language may be partially or totally lost" (1).
		Presently, aphasia located in Broca's region is associated with those who have problems in language production, whereas aphasia located in Wernicke's area is assigned to those who are able to produce speech, but have trouble with comprehension (2).

	Summary
		Aphasia is a disturbance of comprehension and formulation of language.
		Aphasia is produced by damage of cortical regions which are related to language functions.
		In conduction aphasia the repetition of spoken words is severely disturbed, whereas the comprehension is apparently good.

		In Wernicke aphasia, neighborhood signs include a superior quadrantanopsia due to involvement of optic radiations, limb apraxia due to involvement of the inferior parietal lobule or its connections to the premotor cortices, finger agnosia, acalculia, or alexia with agraphia (components of the Gerstmann syndrome) due to involvement of the angular gyrus.
		Pulvinar strokes causing aphasia are exceedingly rare because of the vascular anatomy of the thalamus.
		Aphasia is diagnosed on the basis of localization (involvement of the left hemisphere or thalamus); therefore, careful, thorough mental-state examination is essential.

		Aphasia is often the result of damage to the language areas of the brain located in the left hemisphere.

	Aphasia Summary
		Aphasia is a condition characterized by either partial or total loss of the ability to communicate, either verbally or through written words.
		Most cases of aphasia are caused by damage to the left hemisphere of the brain, which is the dominant language hemisphere for approximately 95% of right-handed people and 60-70% of left-handed people.
		Conduction aphasia results from damage to the fiber bundles connecting the two language areas and is characterized by fluent but somewhat meaningless speech and an inability to repeat phrases correctly.

		Description: The Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination is a comprehensive, multifactorial battery designed to evaluate a broad range of language impairments that often arise as a consequence of organic brain dysfunction.
		The Examination is designed to go beyond simple functional definitions of aphasia into the components of language dysfunctions (symptoms) that have been shown to underlie the various aphasic syndromes.
		Norms: Standardization of the revised Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination is based on a normative sample of 242 patients with aphasic symptoms tested at the Boston VA Medical Center between 1976-1982.

		Because individuals with receptive aphasia display unusual speech, have lost comprehension, and failure to comprehend that they no longer comprehend or "make sense" when speaking, they are at risk for being misdiagnosed as psychotic or suffering from a formal thought disorder, i.e.
		Global aphasia is essentially a total aphasia due to massive left hemisphere damage involving the entire language axis, i.e.
		Thus, in mild cases of Broca's aphasia, emotional, melodic, and prosodic sound production may remain somewhat normal; that is, unless the lesion is deep and encroaches on the cingulate gyrus in which case prosody becomes decidedly abnormal.

	Post-stroke aphasia
		According to Western Aphasia Battery (Kertesz 1982) aphasia is classified as non-fluent aphasias, including global, Broca’s, isolation and transcortical motor aphasias, and as fluent aphasias, including Wernicke’s, transcortical sensory, conduction and anomic aphasias.
		Among the aphasia types global aphasia has the poorest prognosis, Broca’s aphasics often recovering towards anomic aphasia, and Wernicke’s aphasics tending to recover towards anomic or conduction aphasias.
		Anomic aphasia is a common endstage in the evolutionary process of both fluent and non-fluent aphasias.

		In Broca's aphasia, the area typically lost is highlighted in blue.
		Receptive aphasia, also known as Wernicke's aphasia, fluent aphasia, or sensory aphasia in clinical neuropsychology and cognitive neuropsychology, is a type of aphasia often (but not always) caused by neurological damage to Wernicke's area in the brain (Brodman Area 22, in the posterior part of the superior temporal gyrus of the dominant hemisphere).
		Patients who recover from Wernicke's aphasia report that while aphasic they found the speech of others to be unintelligible, and even though they knew they were speaking, they could neither stop themselves nor understand what they had just said.

		The WAB furthermore provides a calculated metric of overall aphasia severity, known as the Aphasia Quotient (AQ), which ranges from 0-100, and it assigns persons with aphasia to one of eight diagnostic categories, such as global aphasia, Broca's aphasia, Wernicke's aphasia, anomic aphasia, etc., based on patients' patterns of impairments and residual capabilities.
		Of the eighteen chronic patients assigned to Broca's aphasia by the WAB before treatment, five were reassigned by the WAB after treatment to the less severe aphasia diagnostic category of conduction aphasia, with an average AQ improvement of +20.2 points.

	Custom essay on Health / Aphasia Conduction Aphasia - Essay Empire
		As indicated by the preceding description of conduction aphasia, impaired repetition is often considered of prime importance for identifying this syndrome.
		(1977) presented a possible solution to this issue by distinguishing "repetition conduction aphasia" and "reproduction conduction aphasia." They argued that a deficit in auditory-verbal short-term memory was responsible for impaired repetition in some conduction aphasics and that an independent deficit in speech programming was responsible for the paraphasic output in other conduction aphasics.
		This latter decision does not rule out the presence of impaired repetition in conduction aphasia, but merely specifies that output based on other input modalities must also be impaired in conduction aphasia.

		If one follows the standard clinical description of conduction aphasia as a disturbance in repetition that is paired with relatively preserved spontaneous speech and auditory comprehension, a heterogeneous group of patients will result.
		At this level, the possible underlying deficits responsible for conduction aphasia are so varied as to render this syndrome of little use at both the clinical and experimental level.
		However, by examining the range of behaviors associated with conduction aphasics, more homogeneous sets of aphasics should emerge.
