Molecular neuroimaging in degenerative dementias.
In the context of the limitations of structural imaging, brain perfusion and metabolism using SPECT and PET have provided relevant information for the study of cognitive decline. The introduction of the radiotracers for cerebral amyloid imaging has changed the diagnostic strategy regarding Alzheimer's disease, which is currently considered to be a "continuum." According to this new paradigm, th...
متن کاملLanguage disorders in degenerative dementias
Background Progressive selective deterioration of language is caused by cerebral lesions involved in processes of language elaboration and is characteristic of several forms of dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Frontemporal dementia (FTD), that are neurodegenerative dementia and epidemiologically relevant. AD language disturbances are characterized by difficulties in word selection:...
متن کاملFunctional network disruption in the degenerative dementias.
Despite advances towards understanding the molecular pathophysiology of the neurodegenerative dementias, the mechanisms linking molecular changes to neuropathology and neuropathological changes to clinical symptoms remain largely obscure. Connectivity is a distinctive feature of the brain and the integrity of functional network dynamics is crucial for normal functioning. A better understanding ...
متن کاملRapidly 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...
