Differential involvement of the anterior temporal lobes in famous people semantics
(Frontiers media, 2016-08-30)
The ability to recognize a famous person occurs through semantic memory. Previous
neuroimaging studies have shown that the anterior temporal lobes (ATLs) are involved
in the recognition of famous people. However, it is ...
Naming unique entities in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia and Alzheimer's disease : Towards a better understanding of the semantic impairment
(Elsevier, 2016-12-07)
While the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) is characterized by a predominant semantic memory impairment, episodic memory impairments are the clinical hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, ...
Early-onset and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease are associated with distinct patterns of memory impairment
Memory impairment in EOAD and LOAD
(2016-01-01)
The goal of this study was to investigate the specific patterns of memory breakdown in patients suffering from early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD) and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD). Twenty EOAD patients, twenty ...
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 ...
