Clinical and biological markers of disease presentation and progression in early frontotemporal dementia

额颞叶痴呆占所有痴呆病例的12-20%，在65奥尔兹的老年人中与阿尔茨海默病一样常见。我们对这种疾病的了解仍然有限。该项目旨在使用脑功能测试和磁共振成像更好地了解早期额颞叶痴呆症缺陷的范围和进展。这将有助于更好地诊断这些患者，并最终可用于监测治疗干预的结果。

Frontotemporal dementia accounts for 12-20% of all dementia cases and is as common as Alzheimer's disease in the < 65 year olds. Our understanding of this disease remains limited. This project aims to better characterise the range and progression of deficits in early frontotemporal dementia using tests of brain function and magnetic resonance imaging. This will assist in better diagnosis of these patients and, ultimately, may be used to monitor the outcomes of therapeutic interventions.
