This research study is investigating how stroke damages the brain's ability to read and understand language. Researchers will give participants a series of reading, language, and thinking tests, and some participants will also have brain imaging (MRI scans) to see how the stroke affected their brain. By comparing stroke survivors to healthy adults of similar age, the team hopes to better understand reading problems after stroke and improve how doctors diagnose and treat them.
Over a million Americans struggle with reading loss after stroke, which makes it hard to pay bills, use email, read signs, and enjoy reading. This study exists because doctors need a better understanding of how stroke damages reading ability so they can develop better ways to help patients recover.

You will come in for testing sessions spread over about 2 to 6 weeks, though this can be adjusted to fit your schedule. During visits, you will complete reading tests, language tests, and thinking ability tests—similar to what you might see at a doctor's office. Some participants will also have an optional MRI brain scan to show how the stroke affected the brain. Some participants may be asked to return 3 to 12 months later to repeat these tests and see if reading ability has changed over time.
