Preserved musical semantic memory in semantic dementia.
OBJECTIVE To understand the scope of semantic impairment in semantic dementia. DESIGN Case study. SETTING Academic medical center. PATIENT A man with semantic dementia, as demonstrated by clinical, neuropsychological, and imaging studies. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Music performance and magnetic resonance imaging results. RESULTS Despite profoundly impaired semantic memory for words and ob...
متن کاملSemantic knowledge and episodic memory for faces in semantic dementia.
Previous studies have documented poor recognition memory for faces in patients with semantic dementia. Preserved face recognition memory was found in this study, however, so long as atrophy was confined predominantly to the left temporal lobe. Patients with structural damage to the right temporal lobe were typically impaired, with the status of the hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus (includi...
متن کاملGeneralization and differentiation in semantic memory: insights from semantic dementia.
According to many theories, semantic representations reflect the parallel activation of information coded across a distributed set of modality-specific association brain cortices. This view is challenged by the neurodegenerative condition known as semantic dementia (SD), in which relatively circumscribed, bilateral atrophy of the anterior temporal lobes results in selective degradation of core ...
متن کاملThe neural basis of semantic memory: evidence from semantic dementia.
Semantic dementia (SD) is a syndrome of progressive impairment in semantic memory. Fifty-eight brain regions were measured in seven post mortem SD cases, ten normal controls and two disease controls (diagnosis frontotemporal dementia and motor neuron disease, FTD-MND). Manual segmentation of the whole brain has not previously been undertaken in a series of SD cases, either post mortem or during...
متن کاملRelatively preserved knowledge of music in semantic dementia
The brain basis for music knowledge and the effects of disease on music cognition are poorly understood. Here we present evidence for relatively preserved knowledge of music in a musically untrained patient with semantic dementia and characteristic asymmetric anterior temporal lobe atrophy. Our findings suggest that music is partly separable neuropsychologically and anatomically from other sema...
