Neural markers of decline and recovery in primary progressive aphasia

Abstract: Primary progressive aphasia is a neurodegenerative disorder wherein speech and language gradually deteriorate. This devastating condition offers a unique window into brain-behavior relations for language as well as the process of network-based neurodegeneration. In this talk, I will discuss structural and functional neuroimaging studies of PPA, which help us to understand the dynamic interplay of spared and impaired brain networks in both decline and recovery of speech-language function.
