Frontotemporal networks and behavioral symptoms in primary progressive aphasia.
OBJECTIVE To determine if behavioral symptoms in patients with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) were associated with degeneration of a ventral frontotemporal network. METHODS We used diffusion tensor imaging tractography to quantify abnormalities of the uncinate fasciculus that connects the anterior temporal lobe and the ventrolateral frontal cortex. Two additional ventral tracts were studie...

Neuropsychology of Frontotemporal Dementia and Primary Progressive Aphasia Scientific background: This paper reviews the neuropsychological features of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). Diagnostic criteria and classification systems, the role of neuropsychological assessment in differential diagnosis, and findings primarily from neuropsychological studies on a...
متن کاملFrontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia, a review
Frontotemporal dementias are neurodegenerative diseases in which symptoms of frontal and/or temporal lobe disease are the first signs of the illness, and as the diseases progress, they resemble a focal left hemisphere process such as stroke or traumatic brain injury, even more than a neurodegenerative disease. Over time, some patients develop a more generalized dementia. Four clinical subtypes ...
متن کاملStructural neuroimaging of social cognition in progressive non-fluent aphasia and behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia
Social cognition impairments are pervasive in the frontotemporal dementias (FTD). These deficits would be triggered by (a) basic emotion and face recognition processes as well as by (b) higher level social cognition (e.g., theory of mind, ToM). Both emotional processing and social cognition impairments have been previously reported in the behavioral variant of FTD (bvFTD) and also in other vers...
متن کاملTOMM40, APOE, and APOC1 in primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.
The aim of this study was to investigate the apolipoprotein E (APOE) chromosomal region in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), and in particular in primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and the behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). To this aim, we selected three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2075650 and rs157590 (TOMM40), and rs1064725 (APOC1), representative of the l...
