Basal cortisol levels and cognitive deficits in human aging
Sonia J. Lupien,AndréRoch Lecours,Isabelle Lussier,G. Schwartz,N. P. V. Nair,Michael J. Meaney +5 more
TL;DR: Impaired cognitive performance was associated with recent evidence of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) dysregulation and elevated basal cortisol levels and was consistent with recent animal studies showing the existence of subpopulations of aged rats that differ in HPA activity and cognitive performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal study of basal cortisol levels in healthy elderly subjects: Evidence for subgroups
Sonia J. Lupien,Sonia J. Lupien,AndréRoch Lecours,George Schwartz,Shakti Sharma,Richard L. Hauger,Michael J. Meaney,N. P. V. Nair +7 more
TL;DR: There exists considerable variation in hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal function amongst aged humans, consistent with recent animal studies showing the existence of subpopulations of aged rats which differ in hypothalamic activity and cognitive efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
The "Pure Form" of the phonetic disintegration syndrome (pure anarthria); anatomo-clinical report of a historical case.
TL;DR: Alajouanine et al.'s pioneering neurolinguistic studies of phonetic disintegration, both in the semiological context of Broca's aphasia and as an isolated clinical entity, are briefly discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Illiteracy and brain damage—1. Aphasia testing in culturally contrasted populations (control subjects)

TL;DR: It is argued that, when testing brain-damaged patients of different cultural backgrounds, one runs the risk of over- or underestimating the frequency of aphasia if one does not refer to norms which explicitly take educational level into account.
Journal ArticleDOI
Schizophasia and jargonaphasia
TL;DR: In this paper, different varieties of deviant spoken language segments (phonemic, morphemic, verbal, and syntagmic paraphasias and telescopages, neologisms) and different forms of spoken language behaviors (thematic production, dyssyntaxia, glossolalia, and glossomania) are defined and exemplified.
