Language Deficit​

​

​

“Mr French, your wife has Rusnak’s aphasia. The evanescence of language comprehension has accelerated, with the agrammatism, dysprosody and neologism-creation metamorphosing into plenary rupture of communicative competency. Lunarside, outwith ethical restraints, ongoing experiments utilizing nanoparticles with efficient bioconjugation through metamaterials and molecular targeted therapy have permitivized occasional successful caudate nucleus cellular surgery.
