Introduction

Semantic memory is a crucial aspect of our cognitive abilities, allowing us to store and retrieve knowledge about the world around us. Semantic dementia is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive deterioration of semantic memory, leading to significant difficulties in language comprehension and object recognition. Neuroimaging techniques have revolutionized our understanding of the neural substrates underlying semantic memory, providing valuable insights into the neural networks involved in semantic processing.

This thesis aims to investigate the neuroimaging correlates of semantic memory impairment in semantic dementia. By utilizing advanced imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET), we seek to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying semantic memory deficits in patients with semantic dementia. Through a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature and our own empirical data, we aim to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the neural basis of semantic memory.

Thesis Overview

Neuroimaging of semantic memory in semantic dementia is a complex and multifaceted topic that requires a comprehensive understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying semantic memory impairment. This thesis aims to bridge the gap between cognitive neuroscience and clinical neuropsychology by investigating the neuroimaging correlates of semantic memory deficits in patients with semantic dementia.

The introduction provides a comprehensive overview of the research topic, including the background of the study, the problem statement, the objective of the study, the limitations of the study, the scope of the study, the significance of the study, and the structure of the thesis. Chapter 2 reviews the existing literature on semantic memory, semantic dementia, neuroimaging techniques, and theoretical frameworks of semantic memory.

Chapter 3 details the research methodology, including participant recruitment, neuroimaging data acquisition, data preprocessing and analysis, task design and stimulus selection, statistical analysis, ethical considerations, reliability and validity of neuroimaging measures, and limitations of the methodology. In Chapter 4, the findings of the study are discussed in detail, focusing on the neural correlates of semantic memory impairment in semantic dementia, the comparison of functional and structural imaging findings, the relationship between semantic memory and other cognitive functions, the implications for the diagnosis and treatment of semantic dementia, future directions for research, theoretical implications of the findings, and methodological considerations.

Finally, Chapter 5 presents the conclusion and summary of the thesis, summarizing the key findings, discussing the implications for clinical practice, highlighting the limitations of the study, suggesting future research directions, and concluding the thesis. This thesis contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the neural basis of semantic memory and provides valuable insights into the neuroimaging correlates of semantic memory impairment in semantic dementia.
