Abstract
I cannot agree more with the contention of the authors that to enhance our understanding of aphasia, clinical and neurological data from patients with multifocal lesions, such as dementia, should be assimilated into our knowledge base. Research focused on this large corpus of data should indeed result in a more comprehensive understanding of brain-language relationships.Keywords
