  1. Increased oligomeric TDP-43 in the plasma of Korean frontotemporal dementia patients with semantic dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2023-05-18 Biomarkers

    Semantic dementia (SD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with impaired vocabulary that progresses to memory impairment.

  2. Neuroinflammation is highest in areas of disease progression in semantic dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2021-06-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Despite epidemiological and genetic data linking semantic dementia to inflammation, the topography of neuroinflammation in semantic dementia, also known as the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia, remains unclear.

  3. [18F]AV-1451 binding in vivo mirrors the expected distribution of TDP-43 pathology in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2017-09-14 Brain scans and imaging

    [ 18 F]AV-1451 binds in vivo regions that are likely to contain TDP-43 and not significant tau pathology.

  4. Language networks in semantic dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2009-09-16 Brain scans and imaging

    Diffusion tensor imaging results were related to grey and white matter atrophy volume assessed by voxel-based morphometry and functional magnetic resonance imaging activations during a reading task.

  5. Declarative memory impairments in Alzheimer's disease and semantic dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. NeuroImage 2005-11-21 Brain scans and imaging

    Semantic dementia (SD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are both disorders in which early pathology affects the temporal lobe yet they produce distinct syndromes of declarative memory impairment-loss of established semantic knowledge with relatively preserved episodic memory in the former and the converse in the latter.
