Non-verbal episodic memory deficits in primary progressive aphasias are highly predictive of underlying amyloid pathology [PDF]
Diagnostic distinction of primary progressive aphasias (PPA) remains challenging, in particular for the logopenic (lvPPA) and nonfluent/agrammatic (naPPA) variants.

Comprehension of acoustically degraded speech in Alzheimer’s disease and primary progressive aphasia
Successful communication in daily life frequently depends on accurate decoding of speech signals that are acoustically degraded by challenging listening conditions. This process presents the brain with a demanding computational task that is vulnerable to

Logopenic and nonfluent variants of primary progressive aphasia are differentiated by acoustic measures of speech production [PDF]
Differentiation of logopenic (lvPPA) and nonfluent/agrammatic (nfvPPA) variants of Primary Progressive Aphasia is important yet remains challenging since it hinges on expert based evaluation of speech and language production.

Cortical microstructure in primary progressive aphasia: a multicenter study
Cortical mean diffusivity is a novel imaging metric sensitive to early changes in neurodegenerative syndromes. Higher cortical mean diffusivity values reflect microstructural disorganization and have been proposed as a sensitive biomarker that might ...

Dysgraphia Phenotypes in Native Chinese Speakers With Primary Progressive Aphasia
Background and Objectives Most primary progressive aphasia (PPA) literature is based on English language users. Linguistic features that vary from English, such as logographic writing systems, are underinvestigated.

Difficulties of clinical diagnosis in primary progressive aphasia. Clinical observation
Primary progressive aphasia is a syndrome characterized by progressive speech dysfunction. There are three types of this condition. The first agrammatic type of primary progressive aphasia is typical for frontotemporal dementia and characterized by ...

Behavioral, computational, and neuroimaging studies of acquired apraxia of speech [PDF]
A critical examination of speech motor control depends on an in-depth understanding of network connectivity associated with Brodmann areas 44 and 45 and surrounding cortices.

Primary progressive aphasia and motor neuron disease: A review
Background This study aims at reviewing, within the framework of motor neuron disease-frontotemporal degeneration (MND-FTD)-spectrum disorders, evidence on the co-occurrence between primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and MND in order to profile such a ...
