Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), dem sanso call frontotemporal degeneration disease[1] anaa frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder,[2] dey encompass several types of dementia wey dey involve de progressive degeneration of de brain ein frontal den temporal lobes.[3] Men den women appear to be equally affected.[1] FTD generally dey present as a behavioral anaa language disorder plus gradual onset.[4] Signs den symptoms tend to appear insyd mid adulthood, typically between de ages of 45 den 65, although e fi affect people younger anaa older dan dis.[1] As of 2017 der be no cure anaa approved symptomatic treatment give FTD, although na dem prescribe sam off-label drugs den behavioral methods.[1]

Na dem first describe features of FTD by Arnold Pick between 1892 den 1906.[5] Na dem coin de name Pick's disease insyd 1922,[6] buh na dem reserve am for de behavioral variant of FTD, insyd wich characteristic Pick bodies den Pick cells be present.[7][8] Na dem first describe dese by Alois Alzheimer insyd 1911.[6] Common signs den symptoms dey include significant changes insyd social den personal behavior, disinhibition, apathy, blunting den dysregulation of emotions, den deficits insyd both expressive den receptive language.[9]

Each FTD subtype relatively be rare.[10] FTDs mostly be early onset syndromes dem link to frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD),[11] wich be characterized by progressive neuronal loss predominantly wey dey involve de frontal anaa temporal lobes, den a typical loss of more dan 70% of spindle neurons, while oda neuron types remain intact.[12] De three main subtypes anaa variant syndromes be a behavioral variant (bvFTD) dem previously know as Pick's disease, den two variants of primary progressive aphasia (PPA): semantic (svPPA) den nonfluent (nfvPPA). Two rare distinct subtypes of FTD be neuronal intermediate filament inclusion disease (NIFID) den basophilic inclusion body disease (BIBD). Oda related disorders dey include corticobasal syndrome (CBS anaa CBD), den FTD plus amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
