central aphasia

central aphasia
a term that has been used as a synonym for various aphasias that involve disturbance in word selection, grammar, and sentence structure apart from elementary auditory or visual comprehension and the ability to write legible characters and speak aloud. Many are presumed to be due to lesions of brain centers (motor speech areas). See global a., motor a., and receptive a.
