Comprehension of concrete and abstract words in patients with selective anterior temporal lobe resection and in patients with selective amygdalo-hippocampectomy
(Elsevier, 2012-01-08)
The role of the anterior temporal lobe (ATL) in semantic memory is now firmly established.
There is still controversy, however, regarding the specific role of this region in processing
various types of concepts. There ...
The role of the left anterior temporal lobe for unpredictable and complex mappings in word reading
(Frontiers media, 2017-04)
The anterior temporal lobes (ATLs) have been consistently associated with semantic
processing which, in turn, has a key role in reading aloud single words. This study aimed
to investigate (1) the reading abilities in ...
Differential involvement of the anterior temporal lobes in famous people semantics
(Frontiers media, 2016-08-30)
The ability to recognize a famous person occurs through semantic memory. Previous
neuroimaging studies have shown that the anterior temporal lobes (ATLs) are involved
in the recognition of famous people. However, it is ...
An examination of semantic impairment in amnestic MCI and AD : What can we learn from verbal fluency?
(Oxford University Press, 2019-04-17)
Introduction
The Verbal Fluency Test (VF) is commonly used in neuropsychology. Some studies have demonstrated a marked impairment of semantic VF compared to phonemic VF in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Since amnestic Mild ...
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, ...
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 ...
An examination of semantic performance in mild cognitive impairment progressors and nonprogressors
(American psychological association, 2024-02-15)
Background. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a risk factor for developing
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and about half of older people with MCI will progress to AD
within the next five years. The aim of the present study ...
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 ...
Learning and vulnerability to phonological and semantic interference in normal aging : an experimental study
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-12-07)
This study compares semantic and phonological interference vulnerability across the full range of learning processes. Method: 43 controls aged 61–88 underwent a neuropsychological examination, French adaptation of the ...
