Title: Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech: What have we learned in the last ten years?
Abstract: This talk will discuss the neurodegenerative condition Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech (PPAOS). Video samples will be shared to familiarize the audience with what PPAOS sounds like. Research will be reviewed that details how PPAOS progresses. Imaging will be provided to show the neural substrates involved in patients with PPAOS.
