title: Modern concepts of normal language and impairments.
abstract: Language is a primary factor in comprehending the functional organization of the brain. Starting with the static anatomoclinical model, followed by the limited aphasiological model, functional imaging techniques have allowed a more dynamic approach that adds complexity to the study of the interaction between brain and language, and bespeak the influence of parameters such as age, sex, motivation, and stress.
