          Study Reveals Trade-off Between Complex Words and Complex Grammar in Sentences

          People with primary progressive aphasia who have difficulty producing complex words as a result of their condition, compensate by stringing together a sequence of simpler words to convey the idea they wish to express.

          Memory May Be Preserved in Condition With Brain Changes Similar to Alzheimer’s Disease

          While 40% of people with primary progressive aphasia have underlying Alzheimer's disease, a new study suggests they may not develop the memory problems associated with Alzheimer's.

          Speech-disrupting brain disease reflects patients’ native tongue

          Language difficulties associated with primary progressive aphasia differ depending on a person's native language, a new study reports. Native English speakers with PPA have more trouble pronouncing words, while those who speak Italian had fewer pronunciation problems but tend to produce shorter and grammatically simpler sentences.

          Map of broken brain networks shows why people lose speech in language-based dementia

          Researchers have identified the location of dysfunctional brain networks that lead to impaired sentence production and word-finding in primary progressive aphasia (PPA). PPA can occur in those with neurodegenerative diseases, such as frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Mapping the networks allows clinicians to apply non-invasive brain stimulation to potentially improve speech in those with PPA.

          Detecting dementia’s damaging effects before it’s too late

          Using MEG neuroimaging, researchers identify abnormalities in functional activity in brain regions which look structurally normal on conventional MRI scans. The findings could help with early detection of primary progressive aphasia.
