项目摘要

This K24 grant renewal is requested to support the mentoring activities of Dr. Maria Luisa Gorno Tempini, a behavioral neurologist and cognitive neuroscientist. Dr. Gorno Tempini is a leading researcher and clinician in the fields of neurology and the neuroscience of language, with specific expertise in atypical neurodegenerative diseases that present as speech and language disorders. She mentors a talented group of clinicians and researchers to study and treat Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) and investigate the neural basis of language. Dr. Gorno Tempini has a proven track record of success in mentoring both clinicians and scientists in patient- oriented research (POR) related to speech and language disorders. The goals of this proposal are to support time for Dr. Gorno Tempini to mentor a growing number of increasingly diverse clinicians and researchers interested in neurodegenerative language disorders, to extend her impact as a mentor at UCSF, and to pursue novel lines of research in PPA. Leveraging the resources available at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center (MAC), the Global Brain Health Institute, and the UCSF Clinical and Translational Science Institute, she will mentor clinicians, faculty, postdoctoral scholars, and scientists with particular attention to cultivating diversity, equity, and inclusion in her laboratory, the university, and the profession at large. She will sustain her comprehensive mentoring system that features one-on-one mentoring, supervision of clinicians in patient diagnosis and care, and group mentoring activities. She will update and extend that system with opportunities for training with colleagues in speech and data science and a focus on mentoring more advanced junior colleagues as emerging mentors themselves. Dr. Gorno Tempini's experience in basic cognitive neuroscience and neurological methodologies and her increasingly nuanced leadership expertise uniquely position her to benefit a diverse group of trainees. The research project proposed here will develop automatic, efficient, and objective methods to measure speech production in PPA. The study will apply acoustic analysis scripts and automatic speech recognition to five minutes of audio recordings collected from 500 well-characterized PPA patients and employ dynamic speech MRI to identify anatomical biomarkers of vocal tract movements corresponding to speech articulation errors. This will lead to earlier detection of speech deficits; improved characterization of clinical syndromes; and more detailed, objective, and efficient outcome measures to track progression and, in the future, response to treatment. Machine learning analyses of acoustic measures and imaging data collected through other MAC projects will provide novel tools for prediction of post-mortem pathology and new knowledge on the neural basis of speech. This grant will be instrumental in supporting the pursuit of Dr. Gorno Tempini's goals to mentor the next generation of clinician scientists in the neurology of language and neurodegenerative aphasias.

要求此K24授予续签以支持Maria Luisa Gorno Tempini博士的指导活动行为神经科医生和认知神经科学家。 Gorno Tempini博士是一位领先的研究员和临床医生神经学领域和语言的神经科学领域，具有非典型神经退行性的特定专业知识作为语音和语言障碍的疾病。她指导了一群才华横溢的临床医生和研究人员研究和治疗主要的进行性失语症（PPA）并研究语言的神经基础。 Gorno Tempini博士在指导临床医生和患者科学家方面取得了成功的记录。与言语和语言障碍有关的定向研究（POR）。该提案的目标是支持Gorno Tempini博士的时间，以指导越来越多的多元化的临床医生和对神经退行性语言障碍感兴趣的研究人员，以扩大其影响 UCSF的导师，并在PPA中追求新的研究线。利用可用的资源 UCSF记忆和老化中心（MAC），全球脑健康研究所以及UCSF临床和翻译科学学院，她将指导临床医生，教职员工，博士后学者以及科学家特别关注其实验室，大学和大学中的多样性，公平性和包容性整个职业。她将维持自己的全面指导系统，该系统具有一对一的指导，监督临床医生在患者诊断和护理中以及小组指导活动中的监督。她将更新并扩展该系统具有与同事在语音和数据科学领域进行培训的机会，并专注于指导更高级的初级同事本身就是新兴导师。 Gorno Tempini博士在基本方面的经验认知神经科学和神经学方法论以及她越来越细微的领导专业知识独特地将她定位为使一群不同的受训者受益。这里提出的研究项目将开发自动，高效和客观的方法来衡量语音 PPA生产。该研究将对声学分析脚本和自动语音识别应用于五个从500名特征良好的PPA患者那里收集的录音会议记录并采用动态语音 MRI确定与语音关节误差相对应的声道运动的解剖生物标志物。这将导致早期发现语音缺陷；改善临床综合征的表征；还有更多详细，客观和有效的结果指标，以跟踪进展，并在将来对治疗。通过其他MAC收集的声学措施和成像数据的机器学习分析项目将提供新颖的工具，以预测验尸后病理学和神经基础的新知识言语。这笔赠款将有助于支持Gorno Tempini博士的追求，以指导下一位语言和神经退行性失语症神经学的临床医生产生。
