Speech disorders in primary progressive aphasia (PPA)

open access: yesJournal of Education, Health and Sport, 2022
Introduction : Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a group of neurodegenerative disorders whose main feature is speech and language dysfunction. There are three main forms of PPA - non-fluent variant - agrammatic (nfvPPA), semantic variant (svPPA) and ...

Network anatomy in logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, 2023
Abstract The 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.

Pattern of cortical thinning in logopenic progressive aphasia patients in Thailand [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Neurology, 2020
Abstract Background Logopenic progressive aphasia (LPA) is an uncommon neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by word-finding difficulties and sentence repetition impairment. Prominent cortical atrophy around left temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) is a classical imaging feature of LPA.

Structural, Microstructural, and Metabolic Alterations in Primary Progressive Aphasia Variants

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2018
Neuroimaging studies have described the brain alterations in primary progressive aphasia (PPA) variants (semantic, logopenic, nonfluent/agrammatic). However, few studies combined T1, FDG-PET, and diffusion MRI techniques to study atrophy, hypometabolism,

Neuroanatomical correlates of phonologic errors in logopenic progressive aphasia

open access: yesBrain and Language, 2020
While phonologic errors may be one of the salient features of the logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA), sparse data are available on their neuroimaging correlates. The purpose of this study was to identify brain regions associated with different types of phonologic errors across several tasks for participants with lvPPA ...

Breakdowns in Informativeness of Naturalistic Speech Production in Primary Progressive Aphasia

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2021
“Functional communication” refers to an individual’s ability to communicate effectively in his or her everyday environment, and thus is a paramount skill to monitor and target therapeutically in people with aphasia.
