This presentation is designed to provide an understanding of neurodegenerative aphasias, focusing on the symptomatology, pathophysiology, and neuropathology associated with these conditions. Specifically, the course delves into the syndrome of primary progressive aphasia (PPA), which is characterized by the gradual loss of language function, and explores the underlying neurological changes that contribute to this syndrome.
Learning Objectives:
After the session, participants will be able to:
Describe the symptomatology, pathophysiology, and neuropathology associated with neurodegenerative aphasias, including primary progressive aphasia.
Identify the underlying neurological changes that contribute to the gradual loss of language function in primary progressive aphasia.
Explain the key features and progression of primary progressive aphasia.
