TL;DR: A clinical approach to the progressive aphasias is presented, based on the experience of these disorders and directed at non-specialists, and a prospect for future progress is concluded, emphasising generic information processing deficits and novel pathophysiological biomarkers.

TL;DR: A clinically oriented, symptom-based approach to the assessment of hearing in dementias, informed by recent progress in the clinical auditory neuroscience of these diseases is outlined.

TL;DR: Overall the bvFTD group had less severe language deficits than patients with PPA, but showed a language profile that was qualitatively similar to svPPA, which warrants further evaluation as a novel biomarker.

TL;DR: In this paper, structural and functional features of auditory brain organization that confer vulnerability to neurodegeneration, the extensive, reciprocal interplay between 'peripheral' and 'central' hearing dysfunction, and recently characterized auditory signatures of canonical neuro-degenerative dementias (Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body disease and frontotemporal dementia).

TL;DR: The functional neuroanatomy of aberrant emotion processing across the spectrum of frontotemporal dementia is reported, demonstrating abnormalities at multiple hierarchical levels including sensory processing, emotion categorisation and autonomic reactivity.
