What is our study?
This study aims to examine brain activity associated with the production and comprehension of language, and how this activity is altered with aging and stroke. Specifically, we want to explore the brain processes involved in sentence production and why they break down in aphasia. Eventually, this may help us develop more targeted and effective language interventions for agrammatic aphasia.

What is aphasia?
Most people have never heard the term aphasia, but chances are you know of someone with it. Aphasia is any form of speech or language difficulty due to brain injury. The majority of people with aphasia have developed it following a stroke. Aphasia can affect your ability to produce speech, understand speech, repeat after others, and execute other aspects of speech and language. It can affect your ability to remember words, produce grammatical sentences, and understand complex utterances.
One common type of aphasia is agrammatic aphasia, where people struggle with forming complete sentences and using correct grammar.
