Terra incognita—cerebellar contributions to neuropsychiatric and cognitive dysfunction in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia [PDF]
Although converging evidence has positioned the human cerebellum as an important relay for intact cognitive and neuropsychiatric processing, changes in this large structure remain mostly overlooked in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), a

Delusions in frontotemporal lobar degeneration [PDF]
We assessed the significance and nature of delusions in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), an important cause of young-onset dementia with prominent neuropsychiatric features that remain incompletely characterised. The case notes of all patients meeting diagnostic criteria for FTLD attending a tertiary level cognitive disorders clinic over a ...

PRNP P39L variant is a rare cause of frontotemporal dementia in Iialian population [PDF]
The missense P39L variant in the prion protein gene (PRNP) has recently been associated with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Here, we analyzed the presence of the P39L variant in 761 patients with FTD and 719 controls and found a single carrier among ...

Progranulin gene (PGRN) mutations cause ubiquitin-positive frontotemporal lobar degeneration linked to chromosome 17 (FTLDU-17). The spectrum of known mutations strongly suggests that neurodegeneration results from a partial loss of PGRN function and ...
