Clinical, anatomical and pathological features in the three variants of primary progressive aphasia : a review
(Frontiers media, 2018-08-21)
Primary progressive aphasias (PPA) are neurodegenerative diseases clinically
characterized by an early and relatively isolated language impairment. Three main
clinical variants, namely the nonfluent/agrammatic variant ...
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 ...
Visual and auditory perceptual strength norms for 3,596 French nouns and their relationship with other psycholinguistic variables
(Springer, 2019-04-23)
Perceptual experience plays a critical role in the conceptual representation of words. Higher levels of semantic variables such as imageability, concreteness, and sensory experience are generally associated with faster and ...
The role of the hippocampus in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia : a resting‐state fcMRI study
(Wiley, 2019-09-09)
The goal of the study was to determine whether the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) affects the intrinsic connectivity network anchored to left and right anterior hippocampus, but spares the posterior ...
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 ...
Quality of life, treatment beliefs, and treatment satisfaction in children treated for primary immunodeficiency with SCIg
(Springer, 2017-06-08)
Despite the development of subcutaneous treatment, children and adolescents with primary immunodeficiency (PID) are vulnerable to a lower quality of life (QoL) than non-clinical participants. Comparisons have been offered ...
Moderate to severe acute pain disturbs motor cortex intracortical inhibition and facilitation in orthopedic trauma patients : a TMS study
(Public library of science, 2020-03-20)
Objective
Primary motor (M1) cortical excitability alterations are involved in the development and maintenance of chronic pain. Less is known about M1-cortical excitability implications in the acute phase of an orthopedic ...
Subcortical amyloid relates to cortical morphology in cognitively normal individuals
(Springer, 2019-07-25)
Purpose Amyloid (Aβ) brain deposition can occur in cognitively normal individuals and is associated with cortical volume
abnormalities. Aβ-related volume changes are inconsistent across studies. Since volume is composed ...
Increased flanker task and forward digit span performance in caudate-nucleus-dependent response strategies
(Elsevier, 2019-06-13)
One of two memory systems can be used to navigate in a new environment. Hippocampus-dependent spatial strategy consists of creating a cognitive map of an environment and caudate nucleus-dependent response strategy consists ...
