Cognitive neuropsychological analysis and neuroanatomic correlates in a case of acute anomia.

abstract：:Practice of language tasks results in improved performance and BOLD signal changes. We distinguish changes correlated with repeated exposure to a picture naming task, from changes associated with naming specific items trained during practice. Task practice affected trained and untrained items, yielding left-sided BOLD...
