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 ...
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 ...
Action video game experience is associated with increased resting state functional connectivity in the caudate nucleus and decreased functional connectivity in the hippocampus
(Elsevier, 2019-12-05)
Habitual action video game experience is associated with both increased grey matter and activity in the striatum and decreased grey matter in the hippocampus. To further investigate this relationship, we tested differences ...
Investigating the incidence and magnitude of heterotopic ossification with and without joints involvement in patients with a limb fracture and mild traumatic brain injury
(Elsevier, 2019-08-13)
Objectives: This study seeks to evaluate the incidence rate of heterotopic ossification (HO) formation in patients
afflicted by an isolated limb fracture (ILF) and a concomitant mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
Methods: ...
Sleep oscillation-specific associations with Alzheimer’s disease CSF biomarkers : novel roles for sleep spindles and tau
(BMC, 2019-02-21)
Background: Based on associations between sleep spindles, cognition, and sleep-dependent memory processing,
here we evaluated potential relationships between levels of CSF Aβ42, P-tau, and T-tau with sleep spindle ...
Subcortical amyloid load is associated with shape and volume in cognitively normal individuals
Subcortical Aβ associates to morphometry
(Wiley, 2019-05-21)
Amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposition is one of the main hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. The
study assessed the associations between cortical and subcortical 11C-Pittsburgh Compound
B retention, namely in the hippocampus, ...
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 ...
