Atrophy in Alzheimer’s disease and semantic dementia : an ALE meta-analysis of voxel-based morphometry studies
(IOS Press, 2016)
Background/Objectives: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and semantic dementia (SD) have distinct episodic memory profiles
despite the hippocampal atrophy that characterizes both diseases. The aim of this study was to delineate ...
Does age matter? A mixed methods study examining determinants of good recovery and resilience in young and middle-aged adults following moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury
Recovery and resilience after TBI
(Wiley, 2017-07-05)
Aim: To examine whether age contributes to functional recovery and resilience after moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Background: The ability to recover from TBI may change across the lifespan, but the ...
Connected speech features from picture description in Alzheimer's disease: a systematic review
(IOS Press, 2018-08-21)
