Cognitive and linguistic impairments are likely the most common and significant consequences of brain injury, which directly or indirectly impact the functional recovery of other abilities in patients. Patients with severe cognitive impairments often struggle to comprehend therapists' instructions and engage in the rehabilitation training. Likewise, severe linguistic impairments are often accompanied by hand and swallowing function disorders. Nevertheless, addressing the rehabilitation mechanisms and strategies for cognitive and speech disorders remain a particularly challenging in neurorehabilitation: when is the appropriate timing to conduct the rehabilitation Interventions? Which brain regions has a higher efficacy of cognitive and linguistic rehabilitation? What are the latest developments in animal and neuroimaging studies?

This research topic aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in the mechanisms and strategies for cognitive-linguistic rehabilitation. We invite submissions on the neurophysiological and anatomical bases of cognitive and speech impairments following brain injury, and the applications of these insights to clinical and home-based rehabilitation practices. Additionally, we encourage submissions that evaluate the efficacy of these rehabilitation strategies, alone or in combination with other methods such as neuroregulation and traditional Chinese medicine.

Furthermore, research articles that use electrophysiology, brain imaging, and behavioral techniques to study these rehabilitation strategies are welcomed. Given the relevance and potential of aphasia rehabilitation strategies in various settings or environments, this research topic aims to draw the attention of a diverse group of researchers across various disciplines: cognitive psychologists, neuroscientists, speech-language pathologists, neurologists, physical therapists, and pediatric specialists.

We welcome submissions of Original Research, Reviews, Cohort Studies, Randomized Controlled Trials, Clinical Trials, Case Reports, Meta-analyses, and Study Protocol. These may focus on but are not limited to the following topics:

- Revealing the neurophysiological and anatomical bases of cognitive and speech impairments following brain injury

- Exploring the underlying brain mechanisms, such as brain regions or networks associated with cognitive and speech impairments leading by post-brain Injury

- Investigating one or more rehabilitation strategy in clinical or home-based application on cognitive-linguist performance in patients with brain injury

- Novel protocols or tools for evaluating the efficacy of strategies in cognitive and linguistic impairments rehabilitation

- Reporting the latest advances of evaluation and treatment methods in cognitive-linguistic rehabilitation of post-brain injury
