Diverging Progression of Network Disruption and Atrophy in Alzheimer’s Disease and Semantic Dementia
The progression of cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease and semantic dementia is accompanied by grey matter atrophy and white matter deterioration. The impact of neuronal loss on the structural network connectivity in these dementia subtypes is, however, not well understood. In order to gain a more refined knowledge of the topological organization of white matter alterations in dementia, w...
متن کاملStructure versus processing deficits in Alzheimer's disease, a matter of degree: a comment on Storms et al. (2003).
G. Storms, T. Dirikx, J. Saerens, S. Verstraeten, and P. P. De Deyn (2003) argued that multidimensional scaling studies are ill-suited for investigating semantic deficits in individuals diagnosed with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) because such individuals show great inter- and intraindividual variability in their proximity judgments. Discussed in this commentary are (a) the possible role...
متن کاملThe recent development in synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of small molecule to treat Alzheimer's diseases: A review
Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder in which the death of brain cells causes memory loss and cognitive decline. A neurodegenerative type of dementia, the disease starts mild and gets progressively worse. Like all types of dementia, Alzheimer's is caused by brain cell death. The most common presentation marking Alzheimer's dementia is where symptoms of memory loss are the most promine...

متن کاملThe diffusivity pattern of white matter degeneration in semantic dementia is spatially and qualitatively different from Alzheimer's disease
Introduction: Semantic dementia (SD) is a variant of frontotemporal dementia characterised by the loss of semantic memory. SD patients have severe temporal lobe atrophy and hypometabolism, yet, unlike Alzheimer’s disease (AD), SD does not display posterior cingulate hypometabolism. In AD, there is compelling evidence that there is concomitant degeneration of nodes in a functionally and anatomic...
