Neuroanatomical correlates of language impairment in non-fluent variant of primary progressive aphasia by Diliara R. Akhmadullina, Rodion N. Konovalov, Yulia A. Shpilyukova, Kseniya V. Nevzorova, Ekaterina Yu. Fedotova, Sergey N. Illarioshkin

“…Apart from that, neuroanatomical foundations were different for each of the core nfvPPA language domains, including superior parietal lobule involvement in fluency, temporoparietal areas in receptive agrammatisms and supplemental motor area in apraxia of speech. Functional correlations were even more diverse. In general, connectivity decrease between temporoparietal structures was more typical for expressive and receptive agrammatisms, single word comprehension and naming, while apraxia of speech, fluency and repetition showed connectivity disruption mainly among the frontoparietal region and subcortical structures. …”
