The role of the left anterior temporal lobe for unpredictable and complex mappings in word reading
(Frontiers media, 2017-04)
The anterior temporal lobes (ATLs) have been consistently associated with semantic
processing which, in turn, has a key role in reading aloud single words. This study aimed
to investigate (1) the reading abilities in ...
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 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, ...
Deformation-based shape analysis of the hippocampus in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia and Alzheimer’s disease
(Elsevier, 2020-06-03)
Background
Increasing evidence shows that the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) is characterized by hippocampal atrophy. However, less is known about disease-related morphological hippocampal changes. ...
An examination of semantic performance in mild cognitive impairment progressors and nonprogressors
(American psychological association, 2024-02-15)
Background. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a risk factor for developing
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and about half of older people with MCI will progress to AD
within the next five years. The aim of the present study ...
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 ...
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 ...
Connected speech features from picture description in Alzheimer's disease: a systematic review
(IOS Press, 2018-08-21)
The language changes that occur over the course of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) can impact communication abilities and have profound functional consequences. Picture description tasks can be used to approximate everyday ...
Connected speech markers of amyloid burden in primary progressive aphasia
(Elsevier, 2021-10-07)
INTRODUCTION
Positron emission tomography (PET) amyloid imaging has become an important part of the diagnostic workup for patients with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and uncertain underlying pathology. Here, we employ ...
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 ...
