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.

TL;DR: This paper investigated the neuroanatomy underlying failure to understand sarcasm from dynamic vocal and facial paralinguistic cues and found that sarcasm comprehension was predicted by smaller volume in bilateral posterior parahippocampi (PHc), temporal poles, and R medial frontal pole (pFWE < 0.05).

TL;DR: In addition to the expected deficits in episodic memory, the amnestic MCI group performed less well than the controls but better than the AD group on design Fluency, category fluency, a set shifting task and the Stroop interference condition.

TL;DR: The utility of automated structural MR image analysis to discriminate PPA variants from each other and from normal controls is investigated, suggesting that automated methods could assist in the differential diagnosis of PPA variant, enabling therapies to be targeted to likely underlying etiologies.

TL;DR: This fMRI study examines brain activation patterns differentiating memory for the source of previously self-generated vs. externally-presented word items and extends the function of mPFC into the domain of memory and the accurate retrieval of the sense of cognitive agency under conditions where agency was encoded implicitly.
