and to this day, no cure exists for any of the fatal neurodegenerative diseases. In part this is due to the incredible diversity of cell types that comprise the brain, knowledge gaps in understanding basic mechanisms of disease, as well as a lack ...

Some, like poor word pronunciation (dysarthria), are the result of impairment of the peripheral mechanism of speech (poor lips, tongue, or palate coordination). In another circumstance, there is brain injury in the gray matter of the brain that controls the central mechanism of speech (aphasia...

While apraxia frequently arises in concert with other impairments such as ataxia, aphasia, and dementia in conditions such as stroke and Alzheimer's disease, apraxia can be dissociated from these deficits. Apraxia most often arises from left hemisphere damage (LHD) but can also occur with right ...

Primary progressive aphasia is a clinically and pathologically heterogeneous condition. The currently recognised subsyndromes are non‐fluent, fluent and logopenic variants. The MLSE adopts a novel error﹕coring system to classify the PPA syndromes, and has previously been shown to distinguish the ...
PET images with [F-18]FDG demonstrate distinct patterns of decreased uptake for Alzheimer's disease (AD), Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) as well as its multiple subtypes such as behavioral variant FTD, primary progressive aphasia (PPA), progressive supranuclear...
