Regional changes in word-production laterality after a naming treatment designed to produce a rightward shift in frontal activity.

4 Oct 2009 Five nonfluent aphasia patients participated in a picture-naming treatment that used an intention manipulation (opening a box and pressing a button on a device in the box with the left hand) to initiate naming trials and was designed to ... Read more...

Neural signatures of semantic and phonemic fluency in young and old adults.

29 Sep 2009 As we age, our ability to select and to produce words changes, yet we know little about the underlying neural substrate of word-finding difficulties in old adults. This study was designed to elucidate changes in specific frontally mediated retrieval ... Read more...

Predicting the time of conversion to MCI in the elderly: role of verbal expression and learning.

28 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Increasing awareness that minimal or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in the elderly may be a precursor of dementia has led to an increase in the number of people attending memory clinics. We aimed to develop a way of predicting the ... Read more...
