Impairments of emotional attention have been reported in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this study, we hypothesized that patients with AD might show a deficit of orientation toward emotional information under conditions of visual search. Eighteen …
We used resting-state fMRI and diffusion-weighted imaging to investigate changes in attention-related and salience networks in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease. Resting-state fMRI data of 37 patients with Alzheimer's disease, 50 …
The amygdala, a limbic area crucial in amplifying emotional processing, is atrophied early in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, evidence regarding the impact of this early atrophy on cognitive and emotional processes is still lacking. The aim of …
Emotional deficits have been repetitively reported in Alzheimer's disease (AD) without clearly identifying how emotional processing is impaired in this pathology. This paper describes an investigation of early emotional processing, as measured by the …
La Maladie d’Alzheimer (MA) est une pathologie neurodégénérative caractérisée par une atrophie précoce de l’amygdale. En accord avec de précédents travaux montrant un déficit d’orientation vers et de maintien sur l’information émotionnelle dans des …
Based on recent work, the attentional salience of emotion seems to be incorrectly processed in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). This phenomenon could be due to early amygdala atrophy, a structure involved in the detection of emotional salience. Using …
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative pathological condition involving widespread cerebral lesions and a dementia syndrome that mainly affects cognitive functions. Moreover, the attentional salience of emotion seems to be incorrectly …
