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 ...
Alzheimer’s disease and memory strength : gradual decline of memory traces as a function of their strength
(2016-03-29)
Objective
: Episodic memory impairment is at the core of amnestic mild cognitive impair-
ment (aMCI) and Alzheimer
’
s disease (AD). The origin of memory deficits may result either
from an encoding deficit or from an ...
Memory for public events in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease : the importance of rehearsal
(2016-02-22)
Ribot’s law refers to the better preservation of remote memories compared with recent ones that presumably characterizes retrograde amnesia. Even if Ribot-type temporal gradient has been extensively studied in retrograde ...
A qualitative impairment in face perception in Alzheimer’s disease : evidence from a reduced face inversion effect
face inversion effect in Alzheimer’s disease
(2016-04-12)
Prevalent face recognition difficulties in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have typically been attributed to the underlying episodic and semantic memory impairment. The aim of the current study was to determine if AD patients are ...
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 ...
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 ...
