The human language system comprises a series of processing stages across multiple brain regions typically lateralized to the left cerebral hemisphere. In the event of stroke or other injury to these systems, neural circuits reorganize in an attempt to restore lost function. However, the neural processes and learned representations underlying language network reorganization remain unclear. Here, we present data from a first-of-its-kind human case study involving chronic intracortical recordings from the right cerebral hemisphere of a patient with non-fluent aphasia with severe left-hemispheric
