Cognitive and behavioural inhibition deficits in neurodegenerative dementias

Harmonization and Innovation of Cognitive, Behavioural and Functional Assessment in Neurodegenerative Dementias

Neuroimaging in neurodegenerative dementias.

Neurodegenerative dementias are characterized by insidious onset and gradual progression of cognitive dysfunction, initially relatively focal with respect to cognitive domains and brain regions involved. Neuroimaging techniques have contributed enormously to both our understanding of large-scale network specificity in neurodegenerative syndromes and our ability to make clinical diagnoses of syn...

Rapidly progressive neurodegenerative dementias.

BACKGROUND Neurodegenerative dementias are typically characterized by an insidious onset and a relatively slowly progressive course. Less common are patients with a rapidly progressive course to death. OBJECTIVE To characterize patients with a neurodegenerative disease and a rapidly progressive course to death. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Using a text word search for "rapid" and "dementia...

Cognitive-behavioral profiles of neurodegenerative dementias: beyond Alzheimer's disease.

The neurocognitive and behavioral profiles of vascular dementia and vascular cognitive impairment, dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease with dementia, and dementia syndromes associated with frontotemporal lobar degenerations are compared and contrasted with Alzheimer's dementia (AD). Vascular dementia/vascular cognitive impairment is characterized by better verbal memory performanc...
