We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.
You can help! If you notice any innacuracies, please

Cortical Correlates of Noun and Verb Deficits in Aphasia
[unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Impairments in spoken language are among the most common sequelae of brain damage due to stroke, trauma or neurodegenerative disease. Occasionally, patients with aphasia present with selective difficulties producing words of one grammatical category. Damage to the left prefrontal cortex tends to result in a deficit in verb production; left temporal damage often results in greater difficulty with nouns. However, the nature of these deficits remains controversial: Do they result from problems in representing meaning (semantics), retrieving words (lexical access), or using words in the grammatical context of sentences (morphosyntax)? Are the causes of putative noun-verb differences heterogeneous across patients? I propose to screen aphasic patients for grammatical category specific deficits and to evaluate the potential causes of these deficits using tasks that specifically probe semantic, lexical and morphosyntactic processing, with attention to variations in lesion patterns that may correlate with distinct behavioral deficits. In parallel, I will conduct studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to probe the cortical correlates of noun and verb processing in unimpaired subjects performing similar tasks.
