Zusammenfassung
Introduction: Based on assumptions about the so called mirror neuron system, this study evaluates a new kind of naming therapy for aphasic patients. It is hypothesized that both, perception and execution of object-related movements should facilitate object naming in aphasia. In addition to behavioural assessment, fMRI is conducted pre and post treatment. It is well known that there are 'mirror neurons' in the macaque frontal cortex that fire during both action production and action perception. A similar multimodal integration effect has been demonstrated for the human brain. Motor and premotor activation was pre…
