Graphic summary of conceptual and emotional blending in patients with the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia. Left: Graphical representation of the blending of semantic knowledge (top) and facial emotion recognition (bottom), which are impaired and correlated in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA, middle). Right: svPPA grey matter correlates of the evaluation of emotion concepts (EEC) and facial emotion recognition (FER) (A), and white matter correlates of FER (B). Modified from Bertoux et al. (2020).
