Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo PET study of 5HT(2A) serotonin and D(2) dopamine dysfunction in drug-naive obsessive-compulsive disorder.

TL;DR: The co-existence of serotonergic and dopaminergic dysfunction in the same homogeneous group of drug-naive OCD patients provides in vivo evidence for the complex molecular mechanisms of OCD, and represents the basis for further studies on the effect of therapeutic agents with specific modulatory effects on these neurotransmission systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Neural Cost of the Auditory Perception of Language Switches: An Event-Related Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study in Bilinguals

TL;DR: The results indicate that switching engages an extensive neural network, including bilateral prefrontal and temporal associative regions, and suggests that switching into a less-exposed language requires controlled processing resources.
Journal ArticleDOI

Orbitofrontal dysfunction related to both apathy and disinhibition in frontotemporal dementia

TL;DR: The results confirm that the main cerebral metabolic impairment in fv-FTD patients affects areas specializing in emotional evaluation and demonstrate that decreased orbitofrontal activity is related to both disinhibited and apathetic syndromes in f VFTD.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Different Neural Correlates of Action and Functional Knowledge in Semantic Memory: An fMRI Study

TL;DR: The hypothesis of the existence of different types of information processing in the internal organization of semantic memory, including "sensory" (information about perceptual features), "action" (motor-based knowledge of object utilization), and "functional" (abstract properties) is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diffusion tensor imaging and voxel based morphometry study in early progressive supranuclear palsy

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for both grey and white matter degeneration in PSP from the early disease stage and structural changes suggest that atrophy of cortical and subcortical structures and neurodegeneration of specific fibre tracts contribute to neurological deficits in PSP.
