Perturbations of the Language Network in Primary Progressive Aphasia
Borna Bonakdarpour, MD (Northwestern University)

Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a syndrome of progressive language
decline due to neurodegenerative etiologies, such as Alzheimer disease and
frontotemporal degeneration. Traditional aphasiology heavily relied on aphasia
caused by stroke. However, research in PPA has created an opportunity to gain
new knowledge about the language network and the effect of neurodegenerative
disease on language processing. In this lecture I discuss how research on PPA
has given us additional insight into the physiology of language network and
how language is affected by cortical thinning (atrophy), and abnormal
functional connectivity in PPA. Potential implications of our research for
future interventions will also be discussed.
