Journal ArticleDOI

Cerebral Glucose Metabolism in Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Assessed With [18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose and PET

TL;DR: Evidence of a widespread cerebral hypometabolism that is not related to the presence of MRI abnormalities is provided; conversely normal metabolism was present in the areas with an abnormal MRI signal.
Journal ArticleDOI

The bilingual brain: linguistic and non-linguistic skills.

TL;DR: In this issue of Brain & Language, the reader will learn that investigations into the neural basis of bilingualism do not solely focus on how two or more languages are represented in the brain, but rather on how these languages are acquired and how they are processed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Auditory event-related potentials in non-demented patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

TL;DR: These findings confirm the hypothesis of a sub-clinical cognitive impairment in non-demented ALS patients, suggesting pathological involvement beyond the motor areas, and suggest passive tasks, not requiring motor responses, are particularly adequate in a disorder leading to severe loss of motor function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dementia, delusions and seizures: storage disease or genetic AD?

TL;DR: The usefulness of genetic determinations in early‐onset cases of dementia, even without an autosomal dominant trait of inheritance, is suggested; for these cases and their relatives an extensive genetic counselling should be recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI

Semantic feature degradation and naming performance. Evidence from neurodegenerative disorders.

TL;DR: The relationship between picture naming performance and the loss of semantic features in patients with AD with or without naming impairment, with sv-PPA and in matched controls is analyzed, assessing the role of distinctiveness, semantic relevance and feature type (s Sensorial versus non-sensorial) with a sentence verification task.
