P12. Neural correlates of apraxia in mild dementia of Alzheimer’s disease – A voxel-based morphometry study

Apraxia is a neuropsychological syndrome with the hallmark of impaired imitation and/or pantomiming of gestures and postures despite normal motor function and comprehension. Whereas key brain regions for apraxia in patients with left-hemispheric stroke have been suggested, it is unclear whether similar areas contribute to praxis disturbances observed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
