Semantic dementia. Progressive fluent aphasia with temporal lobe atrophy.
We report five patients with a stereotyped clinical syndrome characterized by fluent dysphasia with severe anomia, reduced vocabulary and prominent impairment of single-word comprehension, progressing to a stage of virtually complete dissolution of the semantic components of language. A marked reduction in the ability to generate exemplars from restricted semantic categories (e.g. animals, vehi...
متن کاملA voxel-based morphometry study of semantic dementia: relationship between temporal lobe atrophy and semantic memory.
The cortical anatomy of 6 patients with semantic dementia (the temporal lobe variant of frontotemporal dementia) was contrasted with that of a group of age-matched normal subjects by using voxel-based morphometry, a technique that identifies changes in gray matter volume on a voxel-by-voxel basis. Among the circumscribed regions of neuronal loss, the left temporal pole (Brodmann area 38) was th...
متن کاملDisrupted temporal lobe connections in semantic dementia.
Semantic dementia refers to the variant of frontotemporal dementia in which there is progressive semantic deterioration and anomia in the face of relative preservation of other language and cognitive functions. Structural imaging and SPECT studies of such patients have suggested that the site of damage, and by inference the region critical to semantic processing, is the anterolateral temporal l...
متن کاملProgressive medial temporal lobe atrophy during preclinical Alzheimer's disease
This study examined whether longitudinal MRI trajectories in medial temporal lobe (MTL) brain regions differed among groups of cognitively normal individuals defined by their cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels when they were first enrolled (N = 207; mean clinical follow-up = 13.3 years (max = 20 years), mean MRI follow-up = 2.4 years (max = 8 years)). We first compared atrophy rates among groups ...
متن کاملImpaired configurational processing in a case of progressive prosopagnosia associated with predominant right temporal lobe atrophy.
F.G., a 71-year-old right-handed man, presented with a slowly progressive deterioration in his ability to recognize faces of familiar and famous persons, contrasting with the relative preservation of other cognitive domains. His primary face perception skills were intact. Along with his face-recognition deficit, F.G. also exhibited a mild visual agnosia. A more detailed analysis of his performa...
