Journal ArticleDOI
Structural anatomy of empathy in neurodegenerative disease
Katherine P. Rankin,Maria Luisa Gorno-Tempini,S. C. Allison,Christine M. Stanley,Shenly Glenn,Michael W. Weiner,Bruce L. Miller +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the right anterior temporal and medial frontal regions are essential for real-life empathic behaviour, consistent with previous research suggesting that a primarily right frontotemporal network of brain regions is involved in emotion processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroanatomical correlates of behavioural disorders in dementia
Howard J. Rosen,S. C. Allison,Guido F. Schauer,Maria Luisa Gorno-Tempini,Michael W. Weiner,Bruce L. Miller +5 more
TL;DR: The findings underscore the utility of studying patients with dementia for understanding the neuroanatomical basis of social and emotional functions and highlight the importance of distinct regions on the medial wall of the right frontal lobe in regulating different behaviours.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct MRI atrophy patterns in autopsy-proven Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration
Gil D. Rabinovici,William W. Seeley,Ellen J. Kim,Maria Luisa Gorno-Tempini,Katya Rascovsky,T. A. Pagliaro,S. C. Allison,Cathra Halabi,Joel H. Kramer,Julene K. Johnson,Michael W. Weiner,Mark S. Forman,John Q. Trojanowski,S.J. DeArmond,Bruce L. Miller,Howard J. Rosen +15 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that AD and FTLD are anatomically distinct, with degeneration of a posterior parietal network in AD and degenerations of a paralimbic fronto-insular-striatal network in FTLD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioral features in semantic dementia vs other forms of progressive aphasias.
Howard J. Rosen,S. C. Allison,S. C. Allison,Jennifer M. Ogar,Jennifer M. Ogar,Jennifer M. Ogar,Serena Amici,Serena Amici,K. D. Rose,K. D. Rose,Nina F. Dronkers,Bruce L. Miller,Bruce L. Miller,Maria Luisa Gorno-Tempini,Maria Luisa Gorno-Tempini +14 more
TL;DR: Semantic dementia is associated with significantly more behavioral dysfunction than other variants of primary progressive aphasia, specifically behavioral features typical of frontotemporal dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-conscious emotion deficits in frontotemporal lobar degeneration.
TL;DR: The emotional deficit in FTLD patients' response to the startle suggests a reduction in self-consciousness, which is consistent with neural loss in the medial prefrontal cortex, which may play an important role in the production of self- Conscious emotions.
