Evidence of white matter changes on diffusion tensor imaging in frontotemporal dementia
(American Medical Association, 2007)
BACKGROUND:
Two major clinical variants of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) have been described: frontal variant (fvFTD) and temporal variant (tvFTD).
OBJECTIVE:
To analyze white matter (WM) and gray matter (GM) tissue ...
White matter changes in corticobasal degeneration syndrome and correlation with limb apraxia
(American Medical Association, 2008)
BACKGROUND:
Data on white matter changes in corticobasal degeneration syndrome (CBDS) are not yet available, whereas cortical gray matter loss is a feature of this condition. The structural abnormalities related to a key ...
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

(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 right temporal lobe variant of frontotemporal dementia: cognitive and neuroanatomical profile of three patients
(2006)
The right temporal variant of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (Rtv-FTLD) is a focal degenerative condition affecting predominantly the right temporal lobe. The aim of this study was to further characterize the profile ...
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 ...
Single and Multiple Domain Amnestic MCI: two sides of the same coin?
Single- and multiple-domain amnestic mild cognitive impairment: two sides of the same coin?
(2009)
Background. Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) is considered a transition
stage between normal aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Two main clinical subtypes
of aMCI have been identified: 1) aMCI single domain ...
A self-determination theory perspective on parenting
(Canadian Psychological Association, 2008-08)
This article describes research on parenting that supports children's need for autonomy. First, the authors define parental autonomy support and distinguish it from permissiveness or independence promotion. The authors ...
