Executive function in progressive and nonprogressive behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia.
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bv-FTD) patients differ in their prognosis with fast-progressing and very slow-progressing cases. We investigated executive and behavioral profiles of progressive and nonprogressive bv-FTD patients to establish diagnostic markers discriminating the two groups. METHODS A range of neuropsychological and behaviora...
متن کاملBrain Network Organization and Social Executive Performance in Frontotemporal Dementia.
OBJECTIVES Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) is characterized by early atrophy in the frontotemporoinsular regions. These regions overlap with networks that are engaged in social cognition-executive functions, two hallmarks deficits of bvFTD. We examine (i) whether Network Centrality (a graph theory metric that measures how important a node is in a brain network) in the frontot...
متن کاملDeterminants of survival in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia.
BACKGROUND Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) is a common cause of younger onset dementia. Little is known about its rate of progression but a recently identified subgroup seems to have an excellent prognosis. Other determinants of survival are unclear. METHODS We analyzed survival in a large group of clinically diagnosed bvFTD patients (n = 91) with particular attention to de...
متن کاملA neuropsychological battery to detect specific executive and social cognitive impairments in early frontotemporal dementia.
Traditional cognitive tests may not be sensitive for the early detection of executive and social cognitive impairments in the behavioural variant of frontotemporal dementia. The aim of this study was to detect specific executive and social cognitive deficits in patients with early behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia using a battery of tests previously shown to be sensitive to frontal lo...
متن کاملCognitive decline in the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia.
BACKGROUND Only a small number of studies on the natural disease course in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) have been conducted. This is surprising because knowledge about the progression of symptoms is a precondition for the design of clinical drug trials. METHODS The aim of the present study was to examine the cognitive decline of 20 patients with mild bvFTD over one year ...
