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 ...
Rule violation errors are associated with right lateral prefrontal cortex atrophy in neurodegenerative disease
(Cambridge University Press, 2009)
Good cognitive performance requires adherence to rules specific to the task at hand. Patients with neurological disease often make rule violation errors, but the anatomical basis for rule violation during cognitive testing ...
The neural correlates of verbal and nonverbal semantic processing deficits in neurodegenerative disease
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2009)
Objective—To investigate the neural correlates of verbal and non-verbal semantic processing in
neurodegenerative disease.
Background—Semantic memory is often impaired in neurodegenerative disease.
Neuropsychological and ...
The logopenic/phonological variant of primary progressive aphasia
(American Academy of Neurology, 2008)
Objective: Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is characterized by isolated decline in language
functions. Semantic dementia and progressive nonfluent aphasia are accepted PPA variants. A
“logopenic” variant (LPA) has also ...
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
