Aging and language : maintenance of morphological representations in older adults
(Frontiers media, 2019-05-15)
Studies employing primed lexical decision tasks have revealed morphological facilitation
effects in children and young adults. It is unknown if this effect is preserved or diminished
in older adults. In fact, only few ...
Test-retest reliability of diffusion measures extracted along white matter language fiber bundles using HARDI-based tractography
(Frontiers media, 2019-01-14)
High angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI)-based tractography has been
increasingly used in longitudinal studies on white matter macro- and micro-structural
changes in the language network during language acquisition ...
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 ...
Cross-sectional analysis of picture descriptions of healthy young and older adults
(Université de Montréal, 2019)
It is poorly understood whether and how normal aging affects different aspects of connected speech
production, such as fluency, informativity, efficiency, and vocabulary use. The present study crosssectionally investigates ...
Naming unique entities in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia and Alzheimer's disease : Towards a better understanding of the semantic impairment
(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, ...
Posterior cortical atrophy : impact on daily living activities and exploration of a cognitive rehabilitation approach
(Cogent OA, 2019-07-11)
Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting
the posterior region of the brain. Little is known about both the impact of PCA on
functioning and how to support patients on a daily basis. The ...
