Following a stroke, patients can have problems speaking and understanding language (aphasia). During the past decade, several therapies for poststroke aphasia have been developed on the basis of knowledge gained from advances in neuroscience research. In this article, Berthier and Pulvermüller provide an overview of these advances in poststroke neurorehabilitation and highlight the physiological processes that are considered to underlie their beneficial effects.
