CONT

Transcortical motor aphasia. This language disorder is similar in many ways to Broca's aphasia, which is primarily characterized by trouble producing spontaneous speech. In essence, people with transcortical motor aphasia cannot say what they want to say because they can't form the words. However, if someone who has transcortical motor aphasia is asked to repeat something, they can do it without difficulty.

  • trans cortical motor aphasia

Une lésion dans les aires préfrontales, de l'aire motrice supplémentaire ou des noyaux gris centraux dans l'hémisphère gauche peuvent causer cette aphasie.
