Neuroplasticity study shows how singing rehabilitates speech production in post-stroke aphasia

Treatment-induced WM neuroplasticity changes. Connectometry results displaying the significant segments of the tracts with longitudinal QA increases significantly associated with singing group versus control group between T1 and T2 (?T2–T1; left) and longitudinal QA change correlation with improved naming (right).
