Cortical dynamics of speech feedback control in non-fluent Primary Progressive Aphasia

This study examines speech motor control in nfvPPA patients using structure-function imaging, finding reduced alpha-band activity and increased beta-band activity in specific brain regions, unrelated to atrophy patterns.

Neural dynamics of semantic categorization in semantic variant of Primary Progressive Aphasia.

This study investigates how svPPA patients process semantic tasks, finding increased perceptual processing and altered brain network engagement compared to healthy controls.

Taking the sub-lexical route: brain dynamics of reading in the semantic variant of Primary Progressive Aphasia.

This paper investigates brain dynamics during irregular word reading in svPPA patients, showing increased reliance on the dorsal route when the ventral route is damaged.

Regional and hemispheric susceptibility of the temporal lobe to FTLD-TDP-43-C pathology

This study analyzes the lateralization and progression of atrophy in the anterior temporal lobe in TDP-43-C pathology, finding that right-predominant atrophy is common and that atrophy patterns are similar in left and right variants.

State and trait characteristics of anterior insula time-varying functional connectivity

The paper identifies four time-varying functional connectivity modes in the anterior insula that exhibit both state and trait characteristics, relating to empathy and brain connectivity patterns.
