Evidence for a pervasive autobiographical memory impairment in Logopenic Progressive Aphasia
Although characterized primarily as a language disorder, mounting evidence indicates episodic amnesia in Logopenic Progressive Aphasia (LPA). Whether such memory disturbances extend to information encoded pre-disease onset remains unclear. To address this question, we examined autobiographical memory in 10 LPA patients, contrasted with 18 typical ...

A decade with anomic primary progressive aphasia
Some patients with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) demonstrate only anomia. The lack of longitudinal observations of anomic PPA precluded us from determining whether progressive anomic aphasia was simply an early stage of semantic or logopenic variants,

Cognitive and Neural Mechanisms of Social Communication Dysfunction in Primary Progressive Aphasia
Mounting evidence suggests that, in parallel with well-defined changes in language, primary progressive aphasia (PPA) syndromes display co-occurring social cognitive impairments.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Cognitive reserve (CR) refers to the brain's ability to maintain cognitive performance despite neurodegeneration. Studying CR in semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) may clarify variability in disease progression and identify protective factors.

Progranulin-associated PiB-negative logopenic primary progressive aphasia [PDF]
The logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) strongly associates with Alzheimer's disease, but can also associate with frontotemporal lobar degeneration. We aimed to assess the frequency of lvPPA in patients with speech and language disorders without β-amyloid deposition, and to perform detailed neuroimaging and genetic testing in such ...

Abstract INTRODUCTION Research into cognitive dispersion – a cognitive process score measuring the intra‐individual variability (IIV) across a single testing session – suggests utility in neurodegenerative populations. Given widespread deficits observed in sporadic early‐onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD), however, it is unclear if examining cognitive ...

Background: While primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) pathology due to tau or TDP, clinical-pathological studies also demonstrate many cases have Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology.

Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is classified into three variants, logopenic variant PPA (lvPPA), nonfluent agrammatic PPA (nfaPPA), and semantic variant PPA (svPPA), based on clinical (syndromic) characteristics with support from neuroimaging and/or ...

ABSTRACT Background People with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) will experience a decline in language and cognitive function, and behavioural changes are not uncommon. Decline in everyday skills has been reported and becomes more pronounced over time.

[Color figure can be viewed at www.annalsofneurology.org] Objective Sleep‐predominant network hyperexcitability is increasingly recognized as a potential disease‐accelerating comorbidity in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its prevalence and risk‐factors remain debated, largely due to cohort‐specific and methodological differences across studies.
