To account for the selective, progressive and multimodal conceptual disruption observed in
semantic dementia (SD), Patterson et al., 2007 have proposed that the neural network for …

Hub-and-spoke models of semantic representation suggest that coherent concepts are
formed from the integration of multiple, modality-specific information sources with additional …

The core clinical feature of semantic dementia is a progressive yet selective degradation of
conceptual knowledge. Understanding the cognitive and neuroanatomical basis for this …

According to many theories, semantic representations reflect the parallel activation of
information coded across a distributed set of modality‐specific association brain cortices …

The present survey develops a previous position paper, in which I suggested that the
multimodal semantic impairment observed in advanced stages of semantic dementia is due …

Semantic dementia, a circumscribed disorder of semantic knowledge, provides a unique
model for understanding the neural basis for semantic representation. The study addressed …

The role of anterior temporal lobes (ATLs) in semantic processing is controversial. One
theory, influenced by semantic dementia (SD) patients, is that this region is a pan-modal hub …

Recent studies suggest that a complex, distributed neural network underpins semantic
cognition. This article reviews our contribution to this emerging picture and traces the …

Despite a vast literature examining semantic impairment in Alzheimer's disease (AD),
consensus regarding the nature of the deficit remains elusive. We re-considered this issue in …

The pattern of brain atrophy in semantic dementia and its associated cognitive effects have
attracted a considerable body of research, but the nature of core impairments remains …
