Altered gray matter structural covariance networks in early stages of Alzheimer's disease
(Oxford University Press, 2015-05-20)Clinical symptoms observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients may reflect variations within specific large-scale brain networks, modeling AD as a disconnection syndrome. The present magnetic resonance imaging study aims to compare the organization ... -
Alzheimer’s disease and memory strength : gradual decline of memory traces as a function of their strength
(2016-03-29)Objective : Episodic memory impairment is at the core of amnestic mild cognitive impair- ment (aMCI) and Alzheimer ’ s disease (AD). The origin of memory deficits may result either from an encoding deficit or from an accelerated decline of the ... -
Amyloid burden and white matter hyperintensities mediate age-related cognitive differences
(Elsevier, 2019-08)This study examined the additive versus synergistic contribution of beta-amyloid (Aβ) and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) across 7 cognitive domains in 104 cognitively normal older adults. It also measured the extent to which age-related differences ... -
Anatomical correlates of early mutism in progressive nonfluent aphasia
(American Academy of Neurology, 2006)Patients with progressive nonfluent aphasia (PNFA) can become mute early in the course of the disease. Voxel-based morphometry showed that PNFA is associated with left anterior insula and inferior frontal atrophy. In PNFA with early mutism, volume ... -
The anatomy of category-specific object naming in neurodegenerative diseases
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 2006)Neuropsychological studies suggest that knowledge about living and nonliving objects is processed in separate brain regions. However, lesion and functional neuroimaging studies have implicated different areas. To address this issue, we used voxel-based ... -
L’apprentissage sans erreur : un principe efficace d’intervention dans la maladie d’Alzheimer et dans l’aphasie primaire progressive
Errorless learning in cognitive rehabilitation of Alzheimer’s disease and primary progressive aphasia
(John Libbey Eurotext, 2022)L’intervention cognitive demeure une des perspectives de prise en charge les plus utiles, dès la phase précoce, pour aider les patients atteints de trouble neurocognitif majeur à compenser leurs déficits cognitifs et maintenir leur indépendance ... -
Are age and sex effects on sleep slow waves only a matter of EEG amplitude ?
(Oxford University Press, 2020-09-15)Aging is associated with reduced slow wave (SW) density (number SW/min in nonrapid-eye movement sleep) and amplitude. It has been proposed that an age-related decrease in SW density may be due to a reduction in electroencephalogram (EEG) amplitude ... -
Are NREM sleep characteristics associated to subjective sleep complaints after mild traumatic brain injury?
Sleep after mild TBI
(Elsevier, 2015-04)Sleep complaints are common after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). While recent find-ings suggest that sleep macro-architecture is preserved in mTBI, features of non-rapid eye movement(NREM) sleep micro-architecture including electroencephalography ... -
Are primary and secondary provoked vestibulodynia two different entities? A comparison of pain, psychosocial and sexual characteristics
(2015-06-01)Introduction Provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is suspected to be the most frequent cause of vulvodynia in premenopausal women. Based on the onset of PVD relative to the start of sexual experience, PVD can be divided into primary (PVD1) and secondary ... -
Assessment and treatment of vocal stereotypy associated with television: a pilot study
(Society for the Experimental Analysis of Behavior & Wiley, 2013)A 6-year-old boy diagnosed with autism participated in a pilot study showing that (a) television was associated with increased vocal stereotypy and (b) sitting was associated with lower levels of vocal stereotypy. Subsequently, we reduced vocal ... -
Association between waking electroencephalography and cognitive event-related potentials in patients with obstructive sleep apnea
EEG and ERP in OSA
(Elsevier, 2013)Objective: Abnormal event-related potentials (ERP) and slowing of the waking electroencephalographic (EEG) activity have been reported in patients with obstructive sleep apneas (OSA). This study aimed at evaluating whether an association exists between ... -
Associations between early maternal sensitivity and children's sleep throughout early childhood
(2017-09-02)Despite strong theoretical reasons to believe that the quality of parent-infant interactions should influence child sleep, the empirical evidence for links between maternal behavior and children’s sleep is equivocal. Notably, it is unclear at which ... -
Associations between sleep consolidation in infancy and peer relationships in middle childhood
Sleep and peer relationships
(Wiley, 2017-11-21)Sleep plays an important role in many aspects of children’s development. Research on children’s sleep and their peer relationships has begun to emerge in the last years. However, these studies are mostly cross-sectional. The current study aimed to ... -
Atrophy in Alzheimer’s disease and semantic dementia : an ALE meta-analysis of voxel-based morphometry studies
(IOS Press, 2016)Background/Objectives: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and semantic dementia (SD) have distinct episodic memory profiles despite the hippocampal atrophy that characterizes both diseases. The aim of this study was to delineate the pattern of gray matter (GM) ... -
Atrophy, metabolism and cognition in posterior cortical atrophy spectrum based on AD CSF biomarkers
(Elsevier, 2018-10-10)Introduction In vivo clinical, anatomical and metabolic differences between posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) patients presenting with different Alzheimer's disease (AD) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers profiles are still unknown. Methods Twenty-seven ... -
Attachment security and developmental patterns of growth in executive functioning during early elementary school
Growth in executive functionning
(Wiley, 2017-05)Despite the extensive research demonstrating the importance of child executive functioning (EF) for school adjustment, little longitudinal work has formally examined developmental change in EF during the early school years. Based on a sample of 106 ... -
Attachment security and maternal behaviors as predictors of children's psychosocial adjustment at school entry
Mother–child relationships and children’s psychosocial functioning : the specific roles of attachment security and maternal behavior
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-05-17)Objective. This paper aimed to examine the contributions of a second assessment time point of attachment security, along with assessments of maternal behavior (sensitivity and autonomy support), to the prediction of children’s behavior problems. Design. ... -
Attachment, sexual assertiveness and sexual outcomes in women with provoked vestibulodynia and their partners : a mediation model
(2015-08-01)Provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is a prevalent women’s sexual pain disorder, which is associated with sexual function difficulties. Attachment theory has been used to understand adult sexual outcomes, providing a useful framework for examining sexual ... -
Autonomous and controlled motivation for parenting : associations with parent and child outcomes
(Springer, 2014-06-14)The present investigation examined motivation for parenting and some of its correlates in parents and children. The data came from samples of 151 first-time mothers of infants, 153 mothers of middle school children, and 260 mothers and fathers of ... -
The benefits of autonomy support for adolescents with severe emotional and behavioral problems
(Springer, 2013-03)The benefits of autonomy support in the domain of education have been well established within the general population, but have yet to be demonstrated within clinical populations. The present study investigated the benefits of an autonomy-supportive ...
