TL;DR: Compared to AD patients, FTD patients watched TV for a longer time and patients who watched more TV showed more signs of environmental dependency, however further research is needed to explore other hypotheses.

TL;DR: It appears that PD is associated with a disengagement-inhibition defect that is not induced by a dopaminergic deficit, and the CRI task might be a brief sensitive bedside task for evaluating frontal dysfunction in PD.

TL;DR: A patient's poor performance on pantomime recognition and imagery suggests that his apraxia is related to a deterioration of his graphemic and transitive spatial movement representations, which might be the beginning of the corticobasal degeneration syndrome.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss anatomic and physiological studies, as well as neuropsychological studies of healthy artists and patients with neurological disease that have helped them gain some insight into the brain mechanisms that mediate artistic creativity.

TL;DR: There are at least three distinct subtypes embedded within patients diagnosed clinically with AD/ VaD spectrum dementia, and future research is encouraged to assess a) the neuroradiological substrates underlying statistically-determined AD/VaD Spectrum dementia and b) how statistical modeling can be integrated into existing diagnostic criteria.
