Divergent longitudinal propagation of white matter degradation in logopenic and semantic variants of primary progressive aphasia [PDF]
Background: Clinico-pathological distinction of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) can be challenging at clinic presentation. In particular, cross-sectional neuroimaging signatures across the logopenic (lvPPA) and semantic (svPPA) variants are difficult ...

Brain asymmetries related to language with emphasis on entorhinal cortex and basal forebrain [PDF]
Anatomical asymmetries of the human brain are important in at least four respects: 1) they can serve as potential indicators of the evolutionary foundations of language, 2) they can be used for comparative analysis of neural specializations for ...

The relationship between phonological and morphological deficits in Broca's aphasia: further evidence from errors in verb inflection [PDF]
A previous study of 10 patients with Broca’s aphasia demonstrated that the advantage for producing the past tense of irregular over regular verbs exhibited by these patients was eliminated when the two sets of past-tense forms were matched for ...

The degraded concept representation system in semantic dementia:damage to pan-modal hub, then visual spoke [PDF]
The core clinical feature of semantic dementia is a progressive yet selective degradation of conceptual knowledge. Understanding the cognitive and neuroanatomical basis for this deficit is a key challenge for both clinical and basic science.

Low Frequency of Dementia with Lewy Bodies Diagnosis in a Colombian Memory Clinic
Abstract Background The global burden of dementia is increasing, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is the second most common neurodegenerative dementia but remains underreported and frequently misdiagnosed. Its prevalence in Latin America is largely unknown.
