In addition to cortical lesions, mounting evidence on the links between language and the subcortical regions suggests that subcortical lesions may also lead to the emergence of aphasic symptoms. In this paper, by emphasizing the domain-general function of the basal ganglia in both language and music, we highlight that rhythm processing, the function of temporal prediction, motor programming and execution, is an important shared mechanism underlying the treatment of non-fluent aphasia with music therapy. In support of this, we conduct a literature review on the music therapy treating aphasia. The results show that rhythm processing plays a key role in Melodic Intonation Therapy in the rehabilitation of non-fluent aphasia patients with lesions on the basal ganglia. This paper strengthens the correlation between the basal ganglia lesions and language deficits, and provides support to the direction of taking advantage of rhythm as an important point in music therapy in clinical studies.
除了皮质损伤外，越来越多的语言与皮质下区域联系的证据表明，皮质下损伤也可能导致失语症症状的出现。在本文中，通过强调基底神经节在语言和音乐中的领域普遍性功能，我们强调了节奏处理、时间预测功能、运动编程和执行是用音乐疗法治疗非流畅性失语症的一个重要的共同机制。为此，我们对音乐治疗失语症的文献进行了回顾。结果表明，节奏处理在基底神经节损伤的非流畅性失语症患者的旋律语调治疗中起着关键作用。本文加强了基底神经节损伤与语言缺陷之间的相关性，并为临床研究中利用节奏作为音乐治疗的一个重要切入点提供了支持。
