PURPOSE: The purpose of this project was to determine the feasibility of employing a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) task that captured activation associated with overt, unscripted (or free) discourse of people with aphasia (PWA), using a continuous scan paradigm.
METHOD: Seven participants (six females, ages 48-70 years) with chronic poststroke aphasia underwent two fMRI scanning sessions that included a discourse fMRI paradigm that consisted of five 1-min picture description tasks, using personally relevant photographs, interspersed with two 30-s control periods where participants looked at a fixation cross. Audio during the continuous fMRI scan was collected and marked with speaking times and coded for correct information units. Activation maps from the fMRI data were generated for the contrast between speaking and control conditions. In order to show the effects of the multi-echo data analysis, we compared it to a single-echo analysis by using only the middle echo (echo time of 30 ms).
RESULTS: Through the implementation of the free discourse fMRI task, we were able to elicit activation that included bilateral regions in the planum polare, central opercular cortex, precentral gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, middle temporal gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, Crus I of the cerebellum, as well as bilateral occipital regions.
CONCLUSIONS: We describe a new tool for assessing discourse recovery in PWA. By demonstrating the feasibility of a natural language paradigm in patients with chronic, poststroke aphasia, we open a new area for future research.
