Primary progressive aphasia: a different window into brain and language

Stefano F. Cappa, MD.
IUSS Cognitive Neuroscience (ICoN) Center, University School  for Advanced
Studies (IUSS-Pavia) and Dementia Research Center IRCCS Mondino Foundation,
Pavia, Italy

Progressive language disorders (Primary progressive aphasias, PPA) due to
different forms of neurodegeneration have attracted a huge clinical and
research interest in the last decades. In the first part of my talk, I will
present present a historical overview of the topic, a discussion of assessment
tools and a summary of current clinical knowledge. The second part will be
dedicated to the contribution of PPA  to the neurobiology of language,
complementary to evidence coming from  “classical” post-stroke aphasia studies
and to functional imaging in normal subjects, with a special emphasis on the
role of metabolic imaging with (18F-FDG) PET in highlighting the functional
correlates of linguistic performance.
