Clinical and volumetric changes with increasing functional impairment in familial frontotemporal lobar degeneration

Nicholas T. Olney, +86 more
TL;DR: Subject longitudinal studies were designed to describe the natural history of familial‐frontotemporal lobar degeneration due to autosomal dominant mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of sporadic and familial behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in a North American cohort.

Hilary W. Heuer, +78 more
TL;DR: Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) may present sporadically or due to an autosomal dominant mutation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Of brain and bone: The unusual case of Dr. A

TL;DR: This case demonstrates that social and emotional dysfunction in FTD can be dissociated from preserved performance on classic executive functioning tasks and suggests a possible genetic link between bone disease and FTD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Right fronto-limbic atrophy is associated with reduced empathy in refractory unilateral mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.

TL;DR: It is suggested that empathy depends upon the integrity of right fronto-limbic and brainstem regions and highlights the importance of the right mesial temporal lobe and midbrain structures for human empathy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Right mesial temporal lobe epilepsy impairs empathy-related brain responses to dynamic fearful faces

TL;DR: Neurobehavioral evidence that patients with RMTLE are at increased risk for reduced empathy towards others’ internal states is provided and new light is shed on the nature of social-cognitive impairments frequently accompanying MTLE.
