Potamkin prize 2023 for Dr. Marilu Gorno-Tempini

Maria Luisa Gorno-Tempini is the 2023 recipient of the Potamkin Prize. Dr. Gorno-Tempini, a member of the ISFTD community, has pioneered the modern classification of primary progressive aphasia (PPA). Her report on that topic is a citation classic and triggered the current enthusiasm for research on PPA. Dr. Gorno-Tempini has also made pivotal contributions to Behavioral Neurology through her functional imaging experiments that addressed the neurobiology of grammar and semantics. The Potamkin Award is the most prestigious recognition of seminal contributions to research on dementia.
