Aphasia creates a neural roadblock to communication
Показать описание
A disorder that can impact a person's ability to speak or understand language is receiving attention this week, following reports that Bruce Willis is retiring from acting following a recent aphasia diagnosis.
"Aphasia means that there's been a change in a person's ability to communicate because of a problem with the language system in their brain," said Dr. Kimiko Domoto-Reilly, an assistant professor of neurology at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
Dr. Domoto-Reilly says aphasia can be caused by an injury that impacts the brain, including pressure from a tumor or following a stroke. The condition can also develop during Alzheimer's disease.
