Overview of frontotemporal dementia -- Epidemiology of frontotemporal dementia -- Clinical presentations of frontotemporal dementia -- Overlap syndromes -- The neuropsychology of frontotemporal dementia -- Neuroimaging and other investigative findings -- The histopathology of frontotemporal dementia -- Molecular neuropathology in familial and sporadic frontotemporal dementia -- The genetics of frontotemporal dementia -- Psychological invervantions in frontotemporal dementia.
Originally published in 2007, this book reflects the enormous advances in our understanding of frontotemporal dementia and related syndromes. The impetus for these advances has come from a number of directions including genetic discoveries, fresh approaches to neuroimaging and improved neuropsychological understanding of the cognitive aspects of the condition. This book provides a much needed review of the status of our knowledge of these syndromes. The book starts with chapters reviewing the history of the condition and describes the presenting clinical, neuropsychiatric and neuropsychological features, before reviewing, in detail, the areas of greatest recent research progress. The book concludes with a chapter proposing a multidisciplinary approach to patient management. Frontotemporal Dementia Syndromes will be essential reading for neurologists, psychologists, psychiatrists and other clinicians interested in cognitive and behavioural disorders, as well as to basic scientists working in the area of neurodegeneration.
