Geschwind’s disconnection theory – in conjunction with research of colleagues Harold Goodglass (1920–2002), Frank Benson (1928–1996) and others at the Boston University Aphasia Research Center – rekindled interests in what has become known as behavioral neurology [47] and led to new approaches to the study of aphasia, alexia, and agraphia, and of brain-behavior relations more generally. More than half a century after their rediscovery, the classic formulations of Dejerine and Liepmann retain their heuristic value.
