Declining verbal fluency after DBS in Parkinson's disease: Mental speed or executive dysfunction? [PDF]
Journal of Parkinson’s DiseaseBackground Despite the frequent decline in verbal fluency after STN-DBS surgery, the cause of decline remains unclear. Objective This study investigates whether mental speed and executive dysfunctions are underlying mechanisms of the phonemic verbal ...

Structural Correlates of Semantic and Phonemic Fluency Ability in First and Second Languages [PDF]
Cerebral Cortex, 2009 Category and letter fluency tasks are commonly used clinically to investigate the semantic and phonological processes central to speech production, but the neural correlates of these processes are difficult to establish with functional neuroimaging because of the relatively unconstrained nature of the tasks. This study investigated whether differential

Phonemic fluency deficits in asymptomatic gene carriers for Huntington's disease.
Neuropsychology, 2008 The aim of the present study was to investigate verbal fluency in preclinical Huntington's disease (HD). Phonemic and semantic fluency and the rate of word production over time were assessed for 29 asymptomatic gene carriers and 34 noncarriers of HD. The relationship between fluency tasks and other cognitive domains was investigated.

Deep Brain Stimulation Frequency of the Subthalamic Nucleus Affects Phonemic and Action Fluency in Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
Parkinson's Disease, 2016 Introduction. Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) has been linked to a decline in verbal fluency. The decline can be attributed to surgical effects, but the relative contributions of the stimulation ...
