Verbal and Visuospatial Span in Logopenic Progressive Aphasia and Alzheimer's Disease

Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society, 2013

Early alteration of the locus coeruleus in phenotypic variants of Alzheimer’s disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2019
Neuropathological studies showed early locus coeruleus (LC) neuronal loss associated with tauopathy in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). We used the LC signal intensity (LC‐I) on 3T MRI to assess the LC integrity in AD (n = 37) and controls (n = 17).

Efficacy of Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors in the Logopenic Variant of Primary Progressive Aphasia

Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders
Introduction: For over 25 years, cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) have been the main symptomatic treatment for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Several meta-analyses have supported their effectiveness in various neurocognitive, functional, and behavioral aspects of amnestic AD. Over 86% of cases of the logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA),

Spelling Intervention in Post-Stroke Aphasia and Primary Progressive Aphasia

Behavioural Neurology, 2013
Spelling–a core language skill–is commonly affected in neurological diseases such as stroke and Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). We present two case studies of the same spelling therapy (learning of phoneme-to-grapheme correspondences with help from ...

Transcranial direct current stimulation over the temporal-parietal junction yields no lexical-semantic effects in logopenic primary progressive aphasia: a double-blind sham-controlled study

NeuroImage: Clinical
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has generated some promising outcomes in primary progressive aphasia (PPA). The logopenic variant (lv-PPA), one of the most frequent PPA phenotypes, erodes the temporal-parietal junction (TPJ) generating ...
