Baseline structural imaging correlates of treatment outcomes in semantic variant primary progressive aphasia
2023, CortexCitation Excerpt :However, this view of neurally-dissociated episodic and semantic memory stores may be an oversimplification. In fact, the hippocampus has been implicated in the acquisition and retrieval of semantic memories (e.g., Duff, Covington, Hilverman, & Cohen, 2020; Gabrieli, Cohen, & Corkin, 1988), and recent functional neuroimaging work in svPPA has revealed recruitment of the hippocampus during an object knowledge task (Canu et al., 2020). In the context of the current study, the hippocampus may support the use of semantic and episodic cues to facilitate word retrieval in individuals with svPPA.
The temporal lobes and memory
2022, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyNeuropathology of a remarkable case of memory impairment informs human memory
2020, NeuropsychologiaCitation Excerpt :Evidence of some new, but imperfect, semantic knowledge over multiple exposures was reported in both K.C (Hayman et al., 1993; Tulving et al., 1991; Tulving, 1993; Westmacott et al., 2001; Westmacott and Moscovitch, 2001, 2002). and H.M. (Freed et al., 1987; Gabrieli et al., 1988; O’Kane et al., 2004; James & MacKay, 2001; MacKay et al., 1998). In contrast, E.P. was said not to exhibit any form of declarative learning (Reed et al., 1997); findings suggestive of limited learning of household items in E.P. were interpreted as reflecting premorbidly established preferences of certain items over others (Bayley et al., 2008).
