Aphasia leaves people unable to use or comprehend words, and is often triggered by stroke or other brain injuries. <br>The research is published in the “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.nature.com/news/2005/050214/full/050214-3.html " target="blank">www.nature.com/news/2005/050214/full/050214-3.html </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
