                                                                                                                              Interesting patient. “Written - understandable, heard - no”

                                                                                                                              In an article by American scientists published in the journal Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology, it seems that they managed to identify (albeit in a very small sample) the area that is responsible for processing words heard - but not associated with the processing of written and printed text. New paper describes four patients with primary progressive aphasia, a speech disorder. These people were examined by MRI and PET and carried out additional genetic studies.

                                                                                                                              What is Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA)? This is a rare syndrome of isolated and progressive speech disorders. This form of aphasia can be subdivided into several types, depending on the level at which speech impairments appear - fluency, grammar, naming(s), repetition, or comprehension. As a result, experts distinguish the agrammatic form, logopenic, semantic and mixed forms of PPA. It is important to understand that primary progressive aphasia does not occur, like the more common forms of aphasia, with stroke or traumatic brain injury. This is a symptom of frontotemporal dementia or Alzheimer's disease. But in this case, the disease was even more rare.

                                                                                                                              It turned out that despite the different forms of PPA, all these patients had one common quality: their perception of written words and sentences was not affected, but with auditory perception (at the same time, it must be remembered that hearing itself in such people is normal, sounds they hear) there were problems.

                                                                                                                              If a patient in study saw the word "behemoth" written on a piece of paper, he could identify the hippo on the cards. But when the same patient heard someone say "behemoth", they couldn't point to the picture of the animal.

                                                                                                                              “They had problems with the spoken name, but no problem with the visual cues,” says senior author Sandra Weintraub, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and neuroscience at Northwestern University School of Medicine. “We always think that degenerative diseases cause widespread damage, but early on we see that neurodegenerative diseases can be selective in which areas of the brain they attack.”

                                                                                                                              Let's see which patients the authors of the study cite in their article:

                                                                                                                              Patient 1. Woman, 60 years old, right-handed. Over the past three years, she has experienced progressive difficulty in finding words, understanding instructions, and expressing her thoughts. Upon closer examination, it turned out that her speech and writing were agrammatic. She did not have dysarthria (pronunciation disorders), but had mild apraxia when naming polysyllabic words (individual syllables are easy to pronounce, but difficulty pronouncing the whole word). When performing the Boston test (Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination, BDAE), significant difficulties were identified. Repetition and fluency were also worse than normal. There was a dissociation between oral and written speech - she could write some words that she could not say out loud. On MRI, the patient showed extensive but asymmetric atrophy in the left hemisphere, covering the inferior frontal gyrus and inferior parietal lobe, as well as all parts of the left temporal cortex. The patient noted that her sister also experienced progression of speech disorders. According to the results of genetic tests, a mutation in the GRN gene was identified, which leads to the cessation of protein production and the development of the so-called degeneration of the frontotemporal lobes with TDP-43 (FTLD-TDP Type A).

                                                                                                                              Patient 2. Male, 55 years old, right-handed. There were many searches for words-names in his speech. According to the test results, he did not reveal motor forms of speech disorders. Sentence comprehension was comprehensible when presented aurally and visually, except when they were syntactically complex (for example, in the case of passive voice). Understanding of individual words was intact, but the repetition of sentences was impaired. Such speech disorders could indicate the logopenic form of PPA. At the same time, the writing of individual words-names was more preserved than naming aloud. According to MRI, he had asymmetric atrophy of the left lower parietal and temporal lobes (especially in the region of the superior temporal gyrus). PET showed relatively intact metabolism in the Heschl gyrus, but marked hypometabolism in the left superior temporal gyrus. Family history analysis revealed dementia in the patient's mother, which had progressed since the age of 50 years. Genetic testing revealed a mutation in the GRN gene in patient 2.

                                                                                                                              Patient 3. Female, 55 years old, right-handed. She complained of progressive difficulties in the selection of words in speech and writing. The repetition of words and sentences took place in slow motion. She had no difficulty in understanding the meaning of words in both auditory and visual presentation. According to the results of the tests, she was diagnosed with "agrammatic form of PPA". She was able to write words faster than calling them out loud. According to the MRI results, she showed a relatively intact Geschl gyrus, but disturbances in the superior temporal and middle temporal gyrus, posterior parietal cortex, and inferior frontal gyrus. Patient 3 in the family had early dementia in his brother. Genetic tests revealed FTLD-TDP Type A in both relatives, but mutations in the GRN, TDP-43 and C9 geneso rf72 was not.

                                                                                                                              Patient 4. Female, 68 years old, right-handed. I had difficulty finding and naming words. There were paraphasias and difficulty in pronouncing complex words in her speech. Repetition was also broken. Her writing was faster than naming aloud, but there were agrammatisms. Listening comprehension and reading comprehension were not affected. The writing of words-names was available to her, while pronunciation aloud caused difficulties. According to MRI, minor abnormalities were revealed, and according to PET, a hypometabolzyme was detected in the left parietal and upper temporal region. There was no family history of dementia. A follow-up study identified FTLD-TDP Type A.

                                                                                                                              So we see the following: four patients were found with a very specific type of degeneration in the upper part of the temporal lobe of the cerebral cortex, which leads to the fact that a person hardly perceives spoken language, but normally operates with what he read. This news perfectly "rhymes" with the 2016 "neuroage" published yesterday, which talks about the discovery of a brain area associated with reading.
