1. Molecular Mechanisms of Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to identify genetic factors involved in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), a neurodegenerative disorder clinically characterised by a progressive change in personality, behaviour and language. FTLD is a genetically complex disorder and a positive family history is found in up to 40% of the cases. LÄS MER
2. Frontotemporal dementia - symptoms and brain pathology
Sammanfattning : Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the clinical term for a heterogeneous group of dementia disorders with symptoms emerging from frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). FTD encompasses the behavioural variant (bvFTD) and the progressive aphasias: progressive non-fluent aphasia (PNFA) and semantic dementia (SD). LÄS MER
3. Neuropathological findings and staging in dementia
Sammanfattning : Dementia is a clinical syndrome with the development of impairment in multiple cognitive functions (including memory), severe enough to interfere with activities of daily living, as the main symptom. There are a large number of disorders that can lead to dementia, and neuropathological examination after death is necessary to determine the underlying cause with certainty. LÄS MER

5. On characterisation and diagnosis of frontotemporal lobar degeneration syndromes : with special reference to the progressive aphasias
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common dementing brain disease, with episodic memory impairment as a characteristic early feature. However, not all primary degenerative brain syndromes include prominent deficits in day-to-day memorizing. LÄS MER
