Episodic Memory in Amnestic Behavioral Frontotemporal Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Behavioral frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) may present with episodic memory deficits. In 38 patients bvFTD and 61 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) specific measures of verbal (learning curves serial position effects) were studied through the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning test. Forty-two percent showed deficits delayed recall similar to that found in AD including effects. Amnestic had more severe atrophy left mesial temporal lobe than non-amnestic bvFTD. AD-like are not infrequent be part related atrophy.

Orbitofrontal Dysfunction Discriminates Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia from Alzheimers Disease
Background: Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) patients show prefrontal cortex dysfunction and atrophy. Methods: We investigated whether executive function in conjunction with prefrontal cortex atrophy discriminates bvFTD and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients efficiently at presentation. Results: AD and bvFTD patients were distinguishable by 89.5% on their performance of 3 execu...
متن کاملNeural correlates of episodic memory in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia.
Impaired episodic memory is currently an exclusion criterion for behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bv-FTD), although prior studies have shown that neuropsychological memory performance varies from very impaired to intact in such patients. Our study investigated i) whether this variability might be due to the admixture of true bv-FTD and phenocopy syndrome patients and ii) the neural c...
متن کاملHow preserved is episodic memory in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia?
OBJECTIVE Studies have shown variable memory performance in patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). Our study investigated whether this variability is due to the admixture of patients with true bvFTD and phenocopy patients. We also sought to compare performance of patients with bvFTD and patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). METHODS We analyzed neuropsychological mem...
متن کاملComparison of Prefrontal Atrophy and Episodic Memory Performance in Dysexecutive Alzheimer's Disease and Behavioral-Variant Frontotemporal Dementia.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) sometimes presents with prominent executive dysfunction and associated prefrontal cortex atrophy. The impact of such executive deficits on episodic memory performance as well as their neural correlates in AD, however, remains unclear. The aim of the current study was to investigate episodic memory and brain atrophy in AD patients with relatively spared executive functio...
متن کاملEpisodic memory in frontotemporal dementia: a critical review.
This review offers a critical appraisal of the literature on episodic memory performance in frontotemporal dementia. Historically, description of patients diagnosed with what was then known as Pick's disease included the presence of memory deficits and an underlying amnestic syndrome was noted in some of these patients. Over the last 20 years, however, the clinical view has been that episodic m...
