Researchers have developed a therapy for stroke patients with Broca's aphasia that uses ________________ to encourage neuroplasticity

A) electrodes
B) practicing singing words
C) neurotrophic drugs
D) exercise


Answer: B
Rationale: A therapy called Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT) has been developed to retrain the brains of individuals with Broca's aphasia to speak through singing. The therapy does not "heal" damaged nerve cells in the left hemisphere at Broca's area. Rather, language function is taken over by the corresponding area of the right hemisphere.
