New Published Study Findings!
STUDY: BRAIN’S RIGHT SIDE CAN RECOVER STROKE-RELATED SPEECH LOSS
Georgetown University
November 6, 2015 – A new Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) study has found that the right side of the brain can take on speech duties when a stroke damages that function on the left side.
The journal Brain today published the study, the first to look at brain structure and gray matter volume in stroke-related speech recovery, and is contradictory to what many neurologists have debated for more than a century.
“Over the past decade, researchers have increasingly suggested that the right hemisphere interferes with good recovery of language after left hemisphere strokes,” explains Dr. Peter Turkeltaub, assistant professor of neurology at GUMC. “Our results suggest the opposite – that right hemisphere compensation improves recovery.”
MORE GRAY MATTER
Turkeltaub and his colleagues show in the study that patients who have regained their voice have more gray matter volume in the back of their brains’ right hemispheres compared with those who have not experienced a stroke.
“Our study indicates growth in these brain areas that relates to better speech production after a stroke,” says Turkeltaub who also directs the aphasia clinic at MedStar National Rehabilitation Network (NRH).
And while not likely to end the debate, the new information suggests a new direction in treatment.
STROKE-AFFECTED SPEECH
Approximately one-third of stroke survivors lose speech and language — a disorder called aphasia.
Most never fully regain their ability to speak.
Turkeltaub says loss of speech occurs in roughly 70 percent of people with left hemisphere strokes have language problems.
“We found that patients who had better than expected speech abilities after their stroke had more gray matter in the back of the right hemisphere compared to stroke patients with worse speech,” the professor explains. “Those areas of the right hemisphere were also larger in the stroke survivors than in the control group.”
FUTURE RESEARCH
Turkeltaub, a member of the Center for Brain Plasticity and Recovery at Georgetown and MedStar NRH, and his colleagues are continuing their study, looking for areas that compensate for other aspects of language use, such as comprehension of speech.
The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences via the Georgetown-Howard Universities Center for Clinical and Translational Science (KL2TR000102), the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation (2012062), and other entities supported this research.

News from the Cognitive Recovery Lab! STUDY: APHASIA AND SPEECH LANGUAGE DISORDERS - INVESTIGATING THE HIDDEN POWER OF INNER SPEECH
MedStar National Rehabilitation Network - Posted on September 9, 2015
WASHINGTON, DC – Sept. 9, 2015 – “On the tip of my tongue” is a much-used phrase—and familiar experience to many. For most of us, this momentary search for a word is a simple annoyance. For those suffering from aphasia, it’s a frustrating and isolating, everyday reality.
Millions of Americans suffer from aphasia—an acquired impairment of language and communication as a result of stroke or another type of brain injury. While current therapies can be effective, they have limitations. So when MedStar NRH Researcher Peter Turkeltaub, MD, PhD, observed a phenomenon while treating patients, he recognized a potential for progress.
“Many people with aphasia describe experiencing inner speech. While searching for a word, they will say it to themselves. They hear the ‘inner speech” in their heads, but can’t say it aloud. Some patients experience this all of the time—some feel it only occasionally,” says Dr. Turkeltaub, director of the MedStar NRH Aphasia Clinic.
“When we think of aphasia, we think of people struggling, but failing, to find the right word. But those people with inner speech experience something different. They find the word—and go a step further. They hear it spoken in their minds, yet can’t say it aloud,” Dr. Turkeltaub explains.
“The problem may be that the mouth can’t move properly to form the sound. We want to know why some people experience this phenomena—while others do not. Ultimately, we want to understand how this might impact future aphasia therapy.” NIDCD Grant
Dr. Turkeltaub and his colleagues conducted a preliminary study of a small sample of patients with promising results: Nearly 80 percent of those surveyed experienced the phenomenon. Also, their reports about inner speech were related to the particular part of the brain affected by the stroke, and even predicted which words they would relearn during speech therapy.
Now Dr. Turkeltaub has been awarded a three-year grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) to explore the concept further.*
“Successful inner speech is hard to verify,” Dr. Turkeltaub says. “It hasn’t been investigated at all in aphasia—except for a study published in 1976 that examined self-reporting of ‘tip-of-the-tongue’ sensations. We hope this new study will build on this and on our own preliminary research,” he adds.
This new investigation has three key objectives:Understand how common the sense of successful inner speech is among people with aphasia and who is most likely to report it;Examine the relationship between the sense of successful inner speech and the psychological processes of word-finding; andExamine whether brain activity patterns during word-finding reflect the perception of success or failure of inner speech.
Dr. Turkeltaub and his team hope to recruit approximately 50 men and women who have aphasia as a result of a stroke. Participants will first be surveyed about their inner speech experiences and information will be collected about their diagnoses and the location of their strokes.
A subset of participants will also be asked to participate in a series of tests of inner and out loud word recognition, while undergoing functional MRI. Imaging will examine brain activity when patients are calling these words to mind.New Therapy Approaches
Investigators hope that results will help to clarify if patients who are more likely to experience inner speech share certain characteristics—information that may help to identify a subset of patients for whom a modification in traditional therapy might enhance recovery.
“Aphasia is very difficult for patients and the people around them,” says Dr. Turkeltaub. “We have made progress in therapy in recent years. There are also medications we prescribe that may improve memory and language. At MedStar NRH, we’re looking at the use of transcranial direct current stimulation to increase recovery for people with aphasia. And we are studying other ways to boost brain plasticity, as well.
“Still, this research could provide us with a new way to guide individualized aphasia therapy, and could fundamentally change the way we understand the experience of having aphasia,” Dr. Turkeltaub adds.
*This is the third grant the lab has received from NIDCD on inner speech in the past year. Two of Dr. Turkeltaub’s graduate students, William Hayward and Mackenzie Fama, won National Research Service Award training grants from NIDCD to study inner speech in aphasia.
