A common mechanism in verb and noun naming deficits in Alzheimer's patients.

19 Aug 2009 We tested the ability of Alzheimer's patients and elderly controls to name living and non-living nouns, and manner and instrument verbs. Patients' error patterns and relative performance with different categories showed evidence of graceful ... Read more...

Cortical reorganization following anterior temporal lobectomy in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy.

16 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Functional MRI was used to study the impact of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) on the cortical language network in patients with medically refractory TLE. METHODS: Nineteen patients with medically ... Read more...

N400 responses of children with primary language disorder: intervention effects.

3 Aug 2009 Event-related brain potentials were examined in 6 to 8-year-old children with primary language disorder before and after a 5-week narrative-based language intervention. Participants listened to sentences ending with semantically congruous or ... Read more...
