Figure 3

A. (top) The scatter plot demonstrates the relationship between pre- to post-therapy changes in MK measured at the ILF bottleneck, and pre- to post-therapy changes in semantic paraphasias (r=-0.90 and p<0.05 corrected). A. (bottom) Table summarizing MK values for the four MRI acquisitions for all subjects. The table also includes individual changes in the number of semantic paraphasias with treatment (in number of words) and the percent overlap between the stroke lesion and the ILF. The scatterplot in A (top) depicts the relationship between change MK (second to last column) and change in semantic paraphasias (last column). (BL=baseline; FU=follow-up; MK=mean kurtosis) B. Pre- and post-treatment MK values along the ILF from a representative participant are shown anatomically. The ILF bottleneck, which is marked with a black arrow, demonstrates an increase in MK towards normal values from before to after therapy. The stroke lesion is demonstrated in pink. This participant demonstrated a 55% improvement in semantic errors.
