Journal ArticleDOI
Lost in spatial translation - A novel tool to objectively assess spatial disorientation in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia.
Sicong Tu,Sicong Tu,Sicong Tu,Stephanie Wong,Stephanie Wong,Stephanie Wong,John R. Hodges,John R. Hodges,John R. Hodges,Muireann Irish,Muireann Irish,Muireann Irish,Olivier Piguet,Olivier Piguet,Olivier Piguet,Michael Hornberger,Michael Hornberger,Michael Hornberger +17 more
TL;DR: Investigation of spatial orientation in dementia patients and healthy controls using a novel virtual supermarket task as well as voxel-based morphometry found the RSC emerges as a critical biomarker to assess spatial orientation deficits in these neurodegenerative conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A combination of heat treatment and chitosan coating delays ripening and reduces decay in “gala” apple fruit
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of hot air treatment combined with chitosan (CTS) coating on the ripening, quality and decay development for Gala apple fruits were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of hot air treatment in combination with Pichia guilliermondii on postharvest anthracnose rot of loquat fruit.
TL;DR: Results showed that the combined treatment significantly reduced natural decay, and disease incidence and lesion diameter in artificially inoculated fruit, and induced activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and β-1,3-glucanase stimulated synthesis of lignin, thus eliciting disease resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scene construction impairments in Alzheimer's disease – A unique role for the posterior cingulate cortex
Muireann Irish,Muireann Irish,Muireann Irish,Stephanie Halena,Jody Kamminga,Sicong Tu,Michael Hornberger,John R. Hodges +7 more
TL;DR: This study highlights the importance of regions specialised for spatial and contextual processing for the construction of atemporal scenes in AD, and identifies the posterior cingulate cortex as the common region implicated for scene construction performance across participant groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Egocentric versus Allocentric Spatial Memory in Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease
Sicong Tu,Sicong Tu,Sicong Tu,Hugo J. Spiers,John R. Hodges,John R. Hodges,Olivier Piguet,Olivier Piguet,Michael Hornberger,Michael Hornberger +9 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest egocentric heading judgements offer a more sensitive discriminant of bvFTD and AD than allocentric map-based measures of spatial memory.
