C-STAR Lecture Series

This channel presents lectures on aphasia (language impairment caused by brain damage in adults), rehabilitation after stroke, neuroimaging and neurostimulation methodology, and the neurobiology of language. These lectures were given by researchers and guests in the Center for the Study of Aphasia Recovery (C-STAR). C-STAR houses researchers who examine the effects of factors such as behavioral treatment, brain stimulation, and residual brain function (brain plasticity) on recovery from aphasia. C-STAR is a collaboration between researchers from the University of South Carolina, the Medical University of South Carolina, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of California, Irvine. The Center is funded through the National Institute of Deafness and Communication Disorders (NIDCD) grant #NIH P50 DC014664.
