Leadership aphasia

The conduction aphasia is a form of speech disorder ( aphasia ) as a result of damage to the brain , particularly in the repetition is disturbed. The language understanding is preserved and the language production is fluent. Primarily phonetic paraphasias occur. The disorder was commonly associated with damage to the arcuate fasciculus , the connection between Wernicke and Broca areas . Contrary to this traditional view, it is now known that lesions in adjacent brain regions ( e.g. in the supramarginal gyrus ) can lead to conduction aphasia.
