An important variable that complicates these deficit associations is the remarkable reorganization of structure-function relationships that often occurs after brain lesions, such that undamaged parts of the brain assume the functions of the damaged part over time, resulting in recovery from even the most severe aphasias (usually only after appropriate language therapy).
