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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
