Neurodevelopmental effects of genetic frontotemporal dementia in young adult mu...
Finger, Elizabeth; Malik, Rubina; Bocchetta, Martina; Coleman, Kristy; Graff, Caroline; Borroni, Barbara; Masellis, Mario; Laforce, RobertWhile frontotemporal dementia has been considered a neurodegenerative disease that starts in mid-life or later, it is now clearly established that cortical and subcortical volume loss is observed more than a decade prior to symptom onset and progresses with ageing. To test the hypothesis that genetic mutations causing frontotemporal dementia have neurodevelopmental consequences, we examined the youngest adults ...
Anomia is present pre-symptomatically in frontotemporal dementia due to MAPT mu...
Bouzigues, Arabella; Russell, Lucy L.; Peakman, Georgia; Bocchetta, Martina; Greaves, Caroline V.; Convery, Rhian S.; Todd, Emily; Rowe, James B.Introduction: A third of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is caused by an autosomal-dominant genetic mutation in one of three genes: microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT), chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72) and progranulin (GRN). Prior studies of prodromal FTD have identified impaired executive function and social cognition early in the disease but few have studied naming in detail. Methods: We inves...
