Can one of the medical experts out there explain aphasia - Mark's side-effects from surgery and how long it should last?

It was briefly discussed last episode here: http://www.digiserve.com/er/episodes/season7/er712med.html

I'll discuss it more in this week's review.

Phyl: Can you also talk about where the lesions might be? From Mark's behaviour (lack of social skills) it looks like there might be damage to the prefrontal (?) cortex.
