Network anatomy in logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia
AbstractThe logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) is a neurodegenerative syndrome characterized linguistically by gradual loss of repetition and naming skills, resulting from left posterior temporal and inferior parietal atrophy.

Identification of an atypical variant of logopenic progressive aphasia [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between aphasia severity and neurocognitive function, disease duration and temporoparietal atrophy in 21 individuals with the logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA). We found significant correlations between aphasia severity and degree of neurocognitive impairment as well as ...

Progressive logopenic/phonological aphasia: Erosion of the language network
The primary progressive aphasias (PPA) are paradigmatic disorders of language network breakdown associated with focal degeneration of the left cerebral hemisphere. Here we addressed brain correlates of PPA in a detailed neuroanatomical analysis of the third canonical syndrome of PPA, logopenic/phonological aphasia (LPA), in relation to the more widely ...

Ideomotor apraxia in agrammatic and logopenic variants of primary progressive aphasia [PDF]
There are few studies examining praxis in subjects with primary progressive aphasia. The aim of this study was to examine the pattern and severity of ideomotor apraxia in subjects with logopenic and agrammatic variants of primary progressive aphasia and to determine if the presence of ideomotor apraxia correlated with specific neuroanatomical ...

Symptom‐based staging for logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia
AbstractBackground and purposeLogopenic variant primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) is a major variant presentation of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that signals the importance of communication dysfunction across AD phenotypes. A clinical staging system is lacking for the evolution of AD‐associated communication difficulties that could guide diagnosis and ...

Automated item-level measures of verbal fluency in semantic and logopenic primary progressive aphasia. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Verbal fluency tasks are widely used in primary progressive aphasia (PPA), but most studies rely only on total correct responses, overlooking qualitative features of the words produced. We applied a scalable computational framework to extract item‐level features from fluency responses in semantic variant (svPPA) and logopenic ...

Clinical Amyloid Imaging in Logopenic Progressive Aphasia [PDF]
The introduction of florbetapir (Amyvid) positron emission tomography biomarkers could dramatically change how we clinically evaluate young patients who present with nonamnestic cognitive complaints for possible Alzheimer disease (AD). Logopenic progressive aphasia (LPA) may be the most common example of this type of clinical problem.

The logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia [PDF]
The aim is to explore the evolution of the logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia as a distinct clinical entity and to outline recent advances that have clarified its clinical characteristics, neural underpinnings, and potential genetic and pathological bases.
