An important variable that complicates these deficit associations is the remarkable reorganization of structure-function relationships that often occurs after brain lesions, such that undamaged parts of the brain assume the functions of the damaged part over time, resulting in recovery from even the most severe aphasias (usually only after appropriate language therapy). (e.g. Fluent aphasias are typically due to lesions posterior to the central sulcus: Wernicke aphasia with fluent, jargon speech and poor comprehension, Transcortical sensory aphasia, characterized by well-preserved repetition abilities in the context of poor comprehension and fluent but meaningless propositional speech, Conduction aphasia in which fluent spontaneous speech is preserved but repetition is impaired. 2 weeks).
