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 ...
Language impairment in the genetic forms of behavioural variant frontotemporal ...
Samra, Kiran; MacDougall, Amy M.; Bouzigues, Arabella; Bocchetta, Martina; Cash, David M.; Greaves, Caroline V.; Convery, Rhian S.; van Swieten, John C.Background: Behavioural variant fronto-temporal dementia (bvFTD) is characterised by a progressive change in personality in association with atrophy of the frontal and temporal lobes. Whilst language impairment has been described in people with bvFTD, little is currently known about the extent or type of linguistic difficulties that occur, particularly in the genetic forms. Methods: Participants with genetic bv...
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...
The Revised Self-Monitoring Scale detects early impairment of social cognition ...
Franklin, Hannah D; Russell, Lucy L; Peakman, Georgia; Greaves, Caroline V; Bocchetta, Martina; Nicholas, Jennifer; Poos, Jackie; Convery, Rhian SBackground: Although social cognitive dysfunction is a major feature of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), it has been poorly studied in familial forms. A key goal of studies is to detect early cognitive impairment using validated measures in large patient cohorts. Methods: We used the Revised Self-Monitoring Scale (RSMS) as a measure of socioemotional sensitivity in 730 participants from the genetic FTD initiative...

Social cognition impairment in genetic frontotemporal dementia within the GENFI...
Russell, Lucy L.; Greaves, Caroline V.; Bocchetta, Martina; Nicholas, Jennifer; Convery, Rhian S.; Moore, Katrina; Cash, David M.; van Swieten, JohnA key symptom of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is difficulty interacting socially with others. Social cognition problems in FTD include impaired emotion processing and theory of mind difficulties, and whilst these have been studied extensively in sporadic FTD, few studies have investigated them in familial FTD. Facial Emotion Recognition (FER) and Faux Pas (FP) recognition tests were used to study social cognit...
