Frontotemporal dementia is difficult to identify and diagnose accurately, although it is almost as common as Alzheimer’s disease before the age of 65. Improving its detection and diagnostic accuracy is the focus of my fellowship for the next 4 years. As a neuropsychologist with over 15 years clinical experience in dementia, I will combine clinical, neuroimaging and neuropathological approaches to identify early presentations of frontotemporal dementia and other dementia syndromes.

额颞叶痴呆症很难准确识别和诊断，尽管它在65岁之前几乎和阿尔茨海默病一样常见。提高其检测和诊断准确性是我未来4年研究的重点。作为一名在痴呆症方面有超过15年临床经验的神经心理学家，我将结合联合收割机临床、神经影像学和神经病理学方法来识别额颞叶痴呆症和其他痴呆综合征的早期表现。
