Researchers: Prof David Copland (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Katie Mcmahon ,  Prof Greig De Zubicaray

Brief description Up to 40% of stroke survivors have aphasia (disturbance or loss of language) and of these, 60% will still be aphasic 12 months post-onset. Up until now, it has not been possible to predict aphasia recovery or response to treatment. This research will use clinical measures and brain imaging to develop better predictors of aphasia recovery.
