Subcortical amyloid load is associated with shape and volume in cognitively normal individuals
Subcortical Aβ associates to morphometry
(Wiley, 2019-05-21)
Amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposition is one of the main hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. The
study assessed the associations between cortical and subcortical 11C-Pittsburgh Compound
B retention, namely in the hippocampus, ...
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 ...
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. ...
Connected speech markers of amyloid burden in primary progressive aphasia
(Elsevier, 2021-10-07)
INTRODUCTION
Positron emission tomography (PET) amyloid imaging has become an important part of the diagnostic workup for patients with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and uncertain underlying pathology. Here, we employ ...
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 ...
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 ...
Connected speech features from picture description in Alzheimer's disease: a systematic review
(IOS Press, 2018-08-21)
The language changes that occur over the course of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) can impact communication abilities and have profound functional consequences. Picture description tasks can be used to approximate everyday ...
Memory for public events in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease : the importance of rehearsal
(2016-02-22)
Ribot’s law refers to the better preservation of remote memories compared with recent ones that presumably characterizes retrograde amnesia. Even if Ribot-type temporal gradient has been extensively studied in retrograde ...
A qualitative impairment in face perception in Alzheimer’s disease : evidence from a reduced face inversion effect
face inversion effect in Alzheimer’s disease
(2016-04-12)
Prevalent face recognition difficulties in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have typically been attributed to the underlying episodic and semantic memory impairment. The aim of the current study was to determine if AD patients are ...
The impact of time and repeated exposure on famous person knowledge in amnestic Mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease
(2017)
Objective: Famous people knowledge has been shown to be impaired early in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). However, the question of whether recently acquired knowledge is more impaired ...
