We are beyond excited to share this news with you🎉🎉
We are very grateful to the State of California and Governor @GavinNewsom for funding our research program: dyslexia.ucsf.edu/multitudes. So many exciting things are on the way.

New paper! with Fengyixuan Chen, @NikiPersia, Claire Perry and @josef_parvizi
Where fMRI gets it wrong: Less deactivation = activation & native brain space = standard MNI space. What intracranial EEG reveals about the brain's functional architecture in mm scale is astonishing! Fig4 is must see!

Tee et al. show that the visuospatial cognitive phenotypes of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) are associated with anatomical changes over the right hemisphere, albeit the structural changes of PPA are most evident over the left hemisphere. bit.ly/3PRymTr @UofCalifornia

Excited to share our latest paper in @Brain1878! We discuss why some logopenic PPA pts show additional non-linguistic cognitive deficits and how to model their varying clinical presentations w/ multidimensional frameworks. Collab bw @mrccbu @CambridgeFTD @Muireann_Irish @UCSFmac
Ramanan et al. combine advances from cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology to propose a role for left temporoparietal degeneration in emergent linguistic and non-linguistic cognitive deficits in logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia. bit.ly/3v2maaa

Younes et al. show that right-predominant anterior temporal lobe degeneration is characterized by a progressive decline in semantic knowledge for socioemotionally relevant concepts, and propose that it should be named ‘semantic behavioural variant FTD’. bit.ly/3bvnmMy

Ever wondered what Noam Chomsky thinks about the neuroscience of language? Well, I asked him! Honored to host this living legend, founder of the field of generative linguistics, on the Language Neuroscience Podcast, Episode 21. Please RT to share widely.

ALT Schematic representation of the clinical symptom overlap in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) between semantic behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (sbvFTD) and semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) (both under the semantic dementia spectrum and often have FTLD-TDP-C pathology) and behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD).

Right temporal lobe and socioemotional semantics: semantic behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia | Brain | Oxford Academic Take a look at this excellent piece made by MAC UCSF researchers! academic.oup.com/brain/advan…
📢Paper alert 📢
Check out our paper ‘Right temporal lobe and socioemotional semantics: semantic behavioral variant FTD’
We outline new diagnostic criteria that will facilitate early identification of patients with early, focal right ATL degeneration.

Hot off the press: correct responses are all alike, every error is...a door into the lexico-semantic system! Check out what primary progressive aphasia patients taught us doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.8… Work with colleagues at @UCSFmac / @AlbaLanguage / @ucsf_snl_bil

New paper alert!📣Neurodegeneration of the anterior temporal lobes teaches us a great deal about cognition and behavior. Kudos to Kyan & the incredible @AlbaLanguage & @UCSFmac team behind this comprehensive clinical dive into the right side variant

ALT Automated speech timing analyses can capture specific markers of nfvPPA while potentially discriminating between patients with different tauopathies. Thanks to its objectivity and scalability, this approach could support standard speech assessments.
