Comprehension of concrete and abstract words in patients with selective anterior temporal lobe resection and in patients with selective amygdalo-hippocampectomy
(Elsevier, 2012-01-08)
The role of the anterior temporal lobe (ATL) in semantic memory is now firmly established.
There is still controversy, however, regarding the specific role of this region in processing
various types of concepts. There ...
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 ...
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 ...
An examination of semantic performance in mild cognitive impairment progressors and nonprogressors
(American psychological association, 2024-02-15)
Background. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a risk factor for developing
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and about half of older people with MCI will progress to AD
within the next five years. The aim of the present study ...
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 ...
Comprehension of concrete and abstract words in semantic variant primary progressive aphasia and Alzheimer’s disease: a behavioral and neuroimaging study
(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 ...
A MEG study of the neural substrates of semantic processing in semantic variant primary progressive aphasia
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-07-01)
Despite a well-documented pattern of semantic memory (SM) impairment, the patterns of brain
activation during semantic processing in svPPA still remain poorly understood. The current study
aimed to investigate the neural ...
Neural changes associated with semantic processing in healthy aging despite intact behavioral performance
(2015-10-01)
Semantic memory recruits an extensive neural network including the left inferior
prefrontal cortex (IPC) and the left temporoparietal region, which are involved in
semantic control processes, as well as the anterior ...
Vulnerability to semantic and phonological interference in normal aging and amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI)
(American Psychological Association, 2024)
Objective: To determine whether the increased vulnerability to semantic interference previously observed in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) is specifically associated with semantic material or if it also affects ...
Early-onset and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease are associated with distinct patterns of memory impairment
Memory impairment in EOAD and LOAD
(2016-01-01)
The goal of this study was to investigate the specific patterns of memory breakdown in patients suffering from early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD) and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD). Twenty EOAD patients, twenty ...
