Different Temporal Patterns of Specific and General Autobiographical Memories across the Lifespan in Alzheimer’s Disease by Nathalie Philippi, François Rousseau, Vincent Noblet, Anne Botzung, Olivier Després, Benjamin Cretin, Stéphane Kremer, Frédéric Blanc, Liliann Manning

“…The proportions of total memories—supposed to reflect the ability to produce general memories—and specific memories retrieved were compared between AD patients and controls. Correlations to MRI volumes of temporal cortex were tested. We found different temporal patterns for specific and general memories in AD patients, with (i) relatively spared general memories, according to a temporal gradient that preserved remote memories, predominantly associated with right lateral temporal cortex volume. …”
