Understanding Neurodegenerative Diseases From the −Omics Perspective: Lessons Learnt
As the population ages, certain neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are becoming a major health issue. For this reason, this review will focus on the most common ND with onset after 65 years old; Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia.

Evaluation of the INECO Frontal Screening and the Frontal Assessment Battery in Peruvian patients with Alzheimer's disease and behavioral variant Frontotemporal dementia [PDF]
Background: The physicians often confuse the early symptoms of Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with Alzheimer dementia (AD), leading to misdiagnosis. There are some cognitive tests to discriminate between AD and behavioral variant FTD (bvFTD), and the ...

The neuroanatomical and neurochemical basis of apathy and impulsivity in frontotemporal lobar degeneration. [PDF]
Apathy and impulsivity are common and often coexistent consequences of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). They increase patient morbidity and carer distress, but remain under-estimated and poorly treated.

Rare but Relevant? Assessing Variants in Dystonia‐Linked Genes in Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Background Dystonia and Parkinson's disease (PD) exhibit clinical and genetic overlap, but the relevance of dystonia gene variants in PD remains unclear. Objective The aim was to assess the frequency of dystonia‐linked pathogenic variants in PD.

[18F]AV-1451 binding in vivo mirrors the expected distribution of TDP-43 pathology in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia [PDF]
Introduction Semantic dementia, including the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA), is strongly associated with TAR-DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) type C pathology.

We investigated neuropathological manifestations of hypothermia in 168 cases. Patients aged 65 years or more constituted 80% of the total cohort. Alzheimer's disease was the most common comorbidity, affecting 40% of all patients. Abstract There is a paucity of autopsy‐based studies providing detailed neuropathological characteristics of fatal ...

Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration [PDF]
Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is a clinically and pathologically heterogeneous syndrome, characterized by progressive decline in behaviour or language associated with degeneration of the frontal and anterior temporal lobes. While the seminal cases were described at the turn of the 20th century, FTLD has only recently been appreciated as a ...

Criteria for the diagnosis of corticobasal degeneration [PDF]
Current criteria for the clinical diagnosis of pathologically confirmed corticobasal degeneration (CBD) no longer reflect the expanding understanding of this disease and its clinicopathologic correlations.

Immunohistochemistry for TDP‐43: (A)—Dentate gyrus; (B)—Temporal lobe. Abstract Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common cause of early‐onset dementia, typically manifesting before the age of 65, with a mean onset at 58 years. FTD may encompass a spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders resulting from frontotemporal lobar degeneration ...
