Comprehension of concrete and abstract words in semantic variant primary progressive aphasia and Alzheimer’s disease: a behavioral and neuroimaging study
Joubert, Sven; Vallet, Guillaume; Montembeault, Maxime; Boukadi, Mariem; Wilson, Maximiliano A.; Laforce, Robert Jr.; Rouleau, Isabelle; Brambati, Simona Maria (2017-04-20)The aim of this study was to investigate the comprehension of concrete, abstract and abstract emotional words in semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and healthy elderly adults (HE) Three groups of participants ... -
Differential language network functional connectivity alterations in Alzheimer's disease and the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia
Montembeault, Maxime; Chapleau, Marianne; Jarret, Julien; Boukadi, Mariem; Laforce, Robert Jr.; Wilson, Maximiliano A.; Rouleau, Isabelle; Brambati, Simona Maria (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 with different brain mechanisms ... -
Naming unique entities in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia and Alzheimer's disease : Towards a better understanding of the semantic impairment
Montembeault, Maxime; Brambati, Simona Maria; Joubert, Sven; Boukadi, Mariem; Chapleau, Marianne; Laforce, Robert Jr.; Wilson, Maximiliano A.; Macoir, Joël; Rouleau, Isabelle (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, AD patients also present with ... -
The role of the hippocampus in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia : a resting‐state fcMRI study
Chapleau, Marianne; Montembeault, Maxime; Boukadi, Mariem; Bedetti, Christophe; Laforce, Robert Jr.; Wilson, Maximiliano A.; Brambati, Simona Maria (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 hippocampus. A resting‐state ... -
The role of the left anterior temporal lobe for unpredictable and complex mappings in word reading
Joyal, Marilyne; Brambati, Simona Maria; Laforce, Robert Jr.; Montembeault, Maxime; Boukadi, Mariem; Rouleau, Isabelle; Macoir, Joël; Joubert, Sven; Fecteau, Shirley; Wilson, Maximiliano A. (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 patients with the semantic variant ...
