	Expressive aphasia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Expressive aphasia, known as Broca's aphasia in clinical neuropsychology and agrammatic aphasia in cognitive neuropsychology, is an aphasia caused by damage to Broca's area in the brain.
		Expressive Aphasia is also a classification of non-fluent aphasia, as opposed to fluent aphasia.
		Diagnosis is done on a case by case basis, as lesions often affect surrounding cortex and deficits are not well conserved between patients.

	Receptive aphasia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Receptive aphasia, also known as Wernicke's aphasia, "Fluent aphasia" or "sensory aphasia" in clinical neuropsychology and neologistic jargonaphasia in cognitive neuropsychology, is a type of aphasia caused by neurological damage to Wernicke's area in the brain.
		If excessive, this may be confused with the psychiatric signs of "pressure of speech" and "word salad".
		Patients who recover from Wernicke's aphasia report that whilst 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.

		Optic aphasia was introduced to designate a somewhat similar state in which, although the uses of an object are recognized, the patient cannot name it at sight, yet, if it is of such a nature that it appeals directly to one of the other senses, he may at once be able to name it.
		Aphasia usually occurs suddenly, often as the result of a stroke or traumatic brain injury or other head injury, but it may also develop slowly, as in the case of a brain tumor.

		Other investigators have described patients with developmental expressive language disorder and epileptiform EEGs, which suggests that these cases are “congenital variants of the Landau-Kleffner syndrome (AEA).” As can be concluded from the name of this disorder, the main problem is with expressive language, whereas in classic AEA the primary problem is in the receptive sphere.
		Differentiation of developmental expressive language disorder (developmental dysphasia) and acquired expressive epileptic aphasia (oromotor-expressive language deficit associated with centrotemporal epileptic focus) with early onset of symptoms is difficult and may be impossible in many cases.

		Brain lesions large enough to impair language function seldom produce pure defects; thus, an isolated receptive or expressive aphasia is rare.
		Wernicke's aphasia indicates an abnormality of the posterolateral left temporal and inferior parietal language region.
		Recovery from aphasia depends on several factors, including the size and location of lesions, the degree of language impairment, and, to a lesser degree, age, education, and systemic health.
