This period saw a decisive shift from pure localization of language functions to a left-hemisphere language network framework, integrating anatomical mapping with cognitive models. Researchers emphasized disconnection processes, standardized assessment methods, and early imaging approaches to uncover distributed networks for language, enabling cross-patient comparability and more nuanced diagnostics. Historical Significance: The consolidation of network-based perspectives redefined aphasia as a disruption of communication among interconnected left-hemisphere regions, setting the stage for later connectivity and imaging-driven theories that shaped clinical practice and theory alike.
