1. Individuals with fluent and nonfluent aphasia exhibit different deficit patterns in their spontaneous speech. (Chapter 3) 2. Post-treatment changes in grammatical characteristics of
spontaneous speech do not generalize to an overall improvement
in communicative abilities or aphasia severity. (Chapter 3) 3. Improvement in grammatical characteristics of spontaneous speech after deficit-specific treatment is observed mostly in
nonfluent speakers with aphasia. (Chapter 3)
4. A longer treatment course is more beneficial for improvement of grammatical deficits in spontaneous speech. (Chapter 3). 5. Performance in untreated chronic aphasia and treatment-induced improvement do not rely on the same white matter structures in the same way; left and right homologue structures
often act as antagonists. (Chapters 4&5)
6. When looking at the white matter correlates for recovery, it is strongly recommended to focus on both hemispheres (Chapters 4&5)
7. Doing neurolinguistics research in Russia is convenient due to sufficient access to people with language pathology in a clinical setting.
8. To act, it is necessary at least to localize. (Georges Canguilhem)
9. Get vaccinated, use sunscreen, and take care of your mental health.
