Abstract
â¶ We examined the semantic memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease (AD). â¶ Using fMRI, we investigated the neural correlates of category knowledge in AD. â¶ Neural correlates of semantic knowledge are altered in AD. â¶ Increased frontal brain response to picture naming in AD suggests compensation. â¶ Differences in brain response to category suggest a graded semantic deficit in AD.
