Brain activation during speech perception in a patient with a massive left hemisphere infarction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the regions involved in recovery from global aphasia in patients with malignant infarction after decompressive hemicraniectomy. This study reports a case of brain activation during speech perception in a right-handed patient with a massive left hemispheric infarction. METHODS: Decompressive hemicraniectomy was performed in a 20-year old woman with space-occupying infarction of the speech dominant hemisphere. Complete anterior, middle and part of the posterior cerebral artery territories of the left hemisphere, as well as posterior regions of the right middle cerebral artery territory, were affected. Neuropsychological testing and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during speech perception were performed 10 months after stroke. RESULTS: The patient was able to walk, go up and down stairs independently and perform simple tasks at home. She was also well able to match visually and orally presented words with their corresponding pictures, despite large bilateral lesions in the posterior regions. fMRI revealed strong activation of the left temporo-occipital and parieto-occipital areas. In the right hemisphere was observed a small area of activation in the posterior part of the superior and middle temporal gyrus. CONCLUSIONS: In aphasic patients, the activation of posterior bilateral associative areas might be used to support language perception.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
