Anatomy and neuropathology of progressive speech and language disorders, with Keith Josephs

In this episode, I talk with Keith Josephs, Professor of Neurology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, about his work on the anatomy and neuropathology of progressive speech and language disorders.Josephs KA, Duffy JR, Strand EA, Whitwell JL, Layton KF, Parisi JE, et al.
