Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Mutations in the C9ORF72 gene may be a major cause not only of frontotemporal dementia with motor neuron disease but also of late onset psychosis, and the behavioural characteristics of patients with C9 ORF72 mutations are qualitatively distinct.
Journal Article
Behavioral changes in Huntington disease
TL;DR: The results suggest that certain behavioral changes are fundamental to the progression of HD, whereas others have a more complex relationship to the disease process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Knowledge of famous faces and names in semantic dementia.
TL;DR: The findings of an examination of famous face and name knowledge in patients with semantic dementia are interpreted as inconsistent with a unitary, amodal model of semantic memory, and lead to argue that the focal syndrome of progressive prosopagnosia is one of the clinical presentations of semantic dementia and not a separate clinical entity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social cognition in frontotemporal dementia and Huntington's disease.
Julie S. Snowden,Z C Gibbons,A Blackshaw,E. K. Doubleday,Jennifer C. Thompson,Jennifer C. Thompson,David Craufurd,Jonathan K. Foster,Francesca Happé,David Neary +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that social breakdown in FTD and HD may have a different underlying basis and that the frontal neocortex and striatum have distinct contributions to social behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Qualitative neuropsychological performance characteristics in frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
TL;DR: Numerical scores on neuropsychological tests alone are of limited value in differentiating FTD and Alzheimer’s disease, but performance characteristics and error types enhance the distinction between the two disorders.
