Higher-order crossmodal representations in the auditory cortex of deaf and hearing individuals Open
The study of early deafnes provides unique insights into how sensory experience shapes brain function and organisation. Here we investigated whether the auditory cortex of deaf individuals can implement higher-order cognitive functions whe…

Hearing impairment and dementia: cause, catalyst or consequence? Open
The relationship between hearing impairment and dementia has attracted significant attention, the 2024 Lancet Commission report identifying hearing loss as the largest modifiable risk factor for dementia from mid-life. The nature of this l…

The dynamics of auditory working memory impairment in logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia and typical Alzheimer’s disease Open
Background Impaired auditory verbal working memory is a diagnostic hallmark and integral driver of the clinical phenotype in logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA). However, the physiology of the working memory buffer in thi…

Music To My Eyes? Exploring the pupil old/new effect to familiar and unfamiliar music in people with logopenic variant Primary Progressive Aphasia Open
Background Responses to individualized music in people living with dementia can be indicated by both verbal and non‐verbal cues. Evidence suggests that elevated pupil dilation responses to familiar vs. unfamiliar music are preserved in peo…

Preserved musical working memory and absolute pitch in posterior cortical atrophy Open
Working memory for nonverbal auditory information is essential for everyday functioning but its cognitive organisation is not well understood. Here we addressed this issue in a musician, YA, with absolute pitch (AP, the uncommon ability to…

Musical experience influences socio-emotional functioning in behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia Open
Objectives On phenotypic and neuroanatomical grounds, music exposure might potentially affect the clinical expression of behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). However, this has not been clarified. Methods 14 consecutive pati…

Functional neuroanatomy of music perception in frontotemporal dementia Open
Background Despite considerable interest in music as an index of brain function and a therapeutic modality in dementia, the neural correlates of music processing in different dementias remain poorly defined. In the frontotemporal dementia …

The dynamics of auditory working memory impairment in logopenic aphasia and Alzheimer’s disease Open
Background Impaired auditory verbal working memory is a diagnostic hallmark and integral driver of the clinical phenotype in logopenic aphasia. However, the physiology of the working memory buffer in this syndrome is poorly characterised. …

Premorbid musical experience influences socio‐emotional functioning in behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia Open
Background While it is well established that musical expertise can shape brain structure and function, the potential of premorbid musical training to modify the clinical expression of neurodegenerative brain pathologies has been largely un…

The relationship between phonological processing and arithmetic in children with learning disabilities Open
Phonological processing skills have not only been shown to be important for reading skills, but also for arithmetic skills. Specifically, previous research in typically developing children has suggested that phonological processing skills …
