Conductive aphasia is defined as the inability to repeat a spoken phrase, even when comprehension is intact and speech production is otherwise normal.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Conductive aphasia is classically caused by lesions to the arcuate fasciculus (usually on the left). The arcuate fasciculus is a curved bundle of axons that projects from Wernicke’s area to Broca’s area. For repetition to be preserved all three areas need to be intact: Wernicke’s, Broca’s and the arcuate fasciculus.<\/p>\n
The development of diffusion tensor imaging allows visualization of think white matter tracts, like the arcuate fasciculus. In the image below, the left arcuate fasciculus is labeled Laf<\/p>\n
