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 ...
Brain white matter damage and its association with neuronal synchrony during sleep
(Oxford University Press, 2019-01-28)
The restorative function of sleep partly relies on its ability to deeply synchronize cerebral networks to create large slow oscillations observable with EEG. However, whether a brain can properly synchronize and produce a ...
Evidence of a relation between hippocampal volume, white matter hyperintensities, and cognition in subjective cognitive decline and mild cognitive impairment
(Oxford University Press, 2019-10-26)
Objective: The concepts of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and subjective cognitive decline (SCD) have been proposed to
identify individuals in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), or other neurodegenerative ...
Differential language network functional connectivity alterations in Alzheimer's disease and the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia
(Elsevier, 2019-04-03)
Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) can present with similar language impairments, mainly in naming. It has been hypothesized that these deficits are associated ...
Moderation of parenting by inhibitory control in the prediction of the common and unique variance of hyperactivity-impulsivity and inattention
Parenting, inhibitory control and ADHD
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-08-14)
This study examined whether the interaction between parenting and inhibitory control predicts hyperactivity-impulsivity and inattention in 195 children. Observation data of positive parenting were collected at 4 years, and ...
Amyloid burden and white matter hyperintensities mediate age-related cognitive differences
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
This study examined the additive versus synergistic contribution of beta-amyloid (Aβ) and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) across 7 cognitive domains in 104 cognitively normal older adults. It also measured the extent ...
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 ...
Education as a moderator of the relationship between episodic memory and amyloid load in normal aging
(Oxford University Press, 2019-10-23)
The current study explored whether education, a proxy of cognitive reserve, modifies the
association between episodic memory (EM) performance and βeta-amyloid load (Aβ), a biomarker
of Alzheimer’s disease, in a cohort ...
Prolonged and unprolonged complex febrile seizures differently affect frontal theta brain activity
(Elsevier, 2019-11-07)
Objective: Studies have identified persistent cognitive and functional deficits, which could be
linked to each other, in children with complex febrile seizures (FS). Our aim was to investigate
differences in brain activity ...
Febrile seizures and increased stress sensitivity in children : how it relates to seizure characteristics
(Elsevier, 2019-05)
BACKGROUND: Studies suggest that the relationship between seizures and stress starts early in life. However, evidence of long-term altered stress reactivity following early-life seizures is lacking. Our objectives were to ...
