Modality-specific operations in semantic dementia.
A patient suffering from semantic dementia is described who consistently demonstrated the preserved ability to support specific types of semantic judgements from visual, but not from verbal, input. In addition the representations accessed from visual input were found to trigger complex behavioural schemata, while with verbal materials the patients performed almost invariably at chance level. A ...
متن کاملNeural basis of category-specific semantic deficits for living things: evidence from semantic dementia, HSVE and a neural network model.
Studies of patients with semantic impairments following brain damage offer key insights into the cognitive and neural organization of semantic memory. Especially important in this regard are studies of category-specific semantic impairment. We report a direct comparison of semantic deficits in two groups suffering from different diseases: semantic dementia (SD) and herpes simplex virus encephal...
متن کاملPreservation of Person-Specific Semantic Knowledge in Semantic Dementia: Does Direct Personal Experience Have a Specific Role?
Semantic dementia patients seem to have better knowledge of information linked to the self. More specifically, despite having severe semantic impairment, these patients show that they have more general information about the people they know personally by direct experience than they do about other individuals they know indirectly. However, the role of direct personal experience remains debated b...
متن کاملA case of semantic dementia
We are reporting a female case of semantic dementia. Characteristic of this type of dementia, she could not recognize some objects such as a pencil, a ruler or her dominant hand. When shown a pencil, she would ask “What is a pencil?” Her brain MRI showed atrophy of bilateral temporal lobes, especially anterior poles. SPECT also showed abnormally decreased blood flow in temporal lobes and fronta...
متن کاملBrain Network for the Core Deficits of Semantic Dementia: A Neural Network Connectivity-Behavior Mapping Study
Individuals with semantic dementia (SD) typically suffer from selective semantic deficits due to degenerative brain atrophy. Although some brain regions have been found to be correlated with the semantic impairments of SD patients, it is unclear if the damage is actually responsible for SD patients' semantic disorders because these findings were primarily obtained by examining the roles of loca...
