Full Issue

Abstract

The double issue (Numbers 3–4) of Volume 4 of the International Journal of Neurology (1964) was dedicated to aphasia. It opened with editorials in Spanish and English, followed by a collection of influential studies examining the neurological, linguistic, and psychological dimensions of speech disorders. The issue included Macdonald Critchley’s essay on Dax’s Law, Norman Geschwind’s analysis of non-aphasic speech disturbances, and Antonio Subirana’s exploration of the relationship between handedness and language function. Other contributions investigated inner speech, the links between aphasia and intelligence, and variations in verbal and nonverbal response latencies among aphasic patients. Further articles discussed phonemic and semantic components of jargon aphasia, factors influencing recovery and rehabilitation, and proposals for classifying aphasic syndromes. The volume concluded with sections on personality, news, and book reviews, highlighting the journal’s multidisciplinary approach to language and brain research.
