A patient with chronic aphasia secondary to unilateral stroke in the left hemisphere underwent language testing, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and functional imaging using magnetoencephalography (MEG) at four time points: 3 weeks prior to, immediately prior to, immediately after, and 3 months after Constraint Induced Language Therapy (CILT). Performance on language tests involving visual naming and repetition of spoken sentences improved between the immediately prior to and immediately after CILT testing sessions, but not between the pre-CILT sessions. MEG activation in putative pre-morbid language areas of the left hemisphere and homotopic areas of the right hemisphere increased immediately after therapy, as did integrity within the arcuate fasciculus bilaterally. These changes were not evident between the two pre-CILT sessions. While some of these functional, neurophysiological and structural changes had regressed 3 months after therapy, all remained at or above baseline levels. Results provide evidence for an association between improvement in functional status and the increased integrity within a white matter tract known to be involved in language function and its contralateral homologue, as well as increased neurophysiological activity in areas that have the potential to subserve language function bilaterally.
