Selective functional, regional, and neuronal vulnerability in frontotemporal dementia.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The molecular neuroscience revolution has begun to rekindle interest in fundamental neuroanatomy. Blending these disciplines may prove critical to our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases, which target specific anatomical systems. Recent research on frontotemporal dementia highlights the potential value of these approaches. RECENT FINDINGS The behavioral variant of fr...
متن کاملSelective vulnerability of von Economo neurons in frontotemporal dementia
164 Views & Reviews Selective vulnerability of von Economo neurons in frontotemporal dementia In many types of neurodegenerative disease there is selective vulnerability of groups of neurons that show evidence of degenerative change long before other neighboring neurons. In Alzheimer’s disease, neurons in layer II of the transentorhinal and entorhinal cortex show neurofibrillary tangles while n...
متن کاملNetwork-selective vulnerability of the human cerebellum to Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia.
SEE SCHMAHMANN DOI101093/BRAIN/AWW064 FOR A SCIENTIFIC COMMENTARY ON THIS ARTICLE: Neurodegenerative diseases are associated with distinct and distributed patterns of atrophy in the cerebral cortex. Emerging evidence suggests that these atrophy patterns resemble intrinsic connectivity networks in the healthy brain, supporting the network-based degeneration framework where neuropathology spreads...
متن کاملAssessment of Aphasia in Iranian Patients Suffering From Frontotemporal Dementia
Objective Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an uncommon type of dementia. The hallmark feature of FTD is the presentation with aphasia, or behavioral changes which are varies in different subtypes of the disease. We propose a quantitative aphasia test as an additive diagnostic tool for differentiation of FTD subtypes. Method: The study was performed on 20 patients, who were referred to dementia...
متن کاملHuman iPSC-Derived Neuronal Model of Tau-A152T Frontotemporal Dementia Reveals Tau-Mediated Mechanisms of Neuronal Vulnerability
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and other tauopathies characterized by focal brain neurodegeneration and pathological accumulation of proteins are commonly associated with tau mutations. However, the mechanism of neuronal loss is not fully understood. To identify molecular events associated with tauopathy, we studied induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons from individuals carrying t...
