Cross-sectional analysis of picture descriptions of healthy young and older adults
(Université de Montréal, 2019)
It is poorly understood whether and how normal aging affects different aspects of connected speech
production, such as fluency, informativity, efficiency, and vocabulary use. The present study crosssectionally investigates ...
Naming unique entities in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia and Alzheimer's disease : Towards a better understanding of the semantic impairment
(Elsevier, 2016-12-07)
While the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) is characterized by a predominant semantic memory impairment, episodic memory impairments are the clinical hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, ...
Task-induced functional connectivity of picture naming in healthy aging : the impacts of age and task complexity
(MIT Press, 2020-06-01)
The topological organization of the brain, governed by the capacity of brain regions to synchronize their activity, allows for cost-effective performance during everyday cognitive activity. Functional connectivity is an ...
Posterior cortical atrophy : impact on daily living activities and exploration of a cognitive rehabilitation approach
(Cogent OA, 2019-07-11)
Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting
the posterior region of the brain. Little is known about both the impact of PCA on
functioning and how to support patients on a daily basis. The ...
Deformation-based shape analysis of the hippocampus in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia and Alzheimer’s disease
(Elsevier, 2020-06-03)
Background
Increasing evidence shows that the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) is characterized by hippocampal atrophy. However, less is known about disease-related morphological hippocampal changes. ...
Word-finding in confrontation naming and picture descriptions produced by individuals with early post-stroke aphasia
(Routledge, 2020-09-13)
Objective
The present study aims to assess the relationship between quantitative measures of connected speech production and performance in confrontation naming in early post-stroke aphasia (8-14 days post-stroke). Method: ...
Evidence of a relation between hippocampal volume, white matter hyperintensities, and cognition in subjective cognitive decline and mild cognitive impairment
(Oxford University Press, 2019-10-26)
Objective: The concepts of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and subjective cognitive decline (SCD) have been proposed to
identify individuals in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), or other neurodegenerative ...
Differential language network functional connectivity alterations in Alzheimer's disease and the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia
(Elsevier, 2019-04-03)
Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) can present with similar language impairments, mainly in naming. It has been hypothesized that these deficits are associated ...
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 ...
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 ...
