A short cut to the past: Cueing via concrete objects improves autobiographical memory retrieval in Alzheimer’s disease patients

Published in: Neuropsychologia, Volume 110, February 2018, 113-122 Abstract “Older adults diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have difficulties accessing autobiographical memories. However, this deficit tends to spare memories dated to earlier parts of their lives, and may partially reflect retrieval deficits rather than complete memory loss. Introducing a novel paradigm, the present study examines whether autobiographical memory recall can […]

Evolution of autobiographical memory impairments in Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia – A longitudinal neuroimaging study

Published in: Neuropsychologia, Volume 110, February 2018, 14-25 Abstract “Compromised autobiographical memory (ABM) retrieval is well established in dementia, attributable to degeneration of a core memory brain network. It remains unclear, however, how the progressive spread of atrophy with advancing disease severity impacts ABM retrieval across life epochs. To this end, we conducted a longitudinal study of recent and remote ABM
