NIH Rare Diseases: Frontotemporal dementia describes a group of conditions associated with shrinking of the frontal and temporal anterior lobes of the brain. Symptoms include either variable changes in behavior (e.g., impulsive, bored, listless, lack of social contact, lack of empathy, distractibility, blunted emotions, compulsive behavior, decreased energy and motivation) or problems with language (e.g., difficulty making or understanding speech). Spatial skills and memory remain intact. There is a strong genetic component to the disease; it often runs in families. There is no cure for frontotemporal dementia at this time, as a result treatment remains supportive.Although the name and classification of FTD has been a topic of discussion for over a century, the current classification of the syndrome groups together Pick’s disease, primary progressive aphasia, and semantic dementia as FTD. Some doctors propose adding corticobasal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy to FTD and calling the group Pick Complex.

MalaCards: Frontotemporal Dementia, also known as pallidopontonigral degeneration, is related to vascular dementia and frontotemporal lobar degeneration with ubiquitin-positive inclusions. An important gene associated with Frontotemporal Dementia is MAPT (microtubule-associated protein tau), and among its related pathways are Protein Stability and Cytoskeleton remodeling Neurofilaments. The drugs citalopram hydrobromide and citalopram and the compounds carbachol and thioflavine s have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, t cells and b cells, and related mouse phenotypes are endocrine/exocrine gland and other. NINDS: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) describes a clinical syndrome associated with shrinking of the frontal and temporal anterior lobes of the brain. Originally known as Pick?s disease, the name and classification of FTD has been a topic of discussion for over a century.31 Genetics Home Reference: GRN-related frontotemporal dementia is a progressive brain disorder that can affect behavior, language, and movement. The symptoms of this disorder usually become noticeable in a person's fifties or sixties, and affected people typically survive 6 to 7 years after the appearance of symptoms. However, the features of this condition vary significantly, even among affected members of the same family.17 Wikipedia: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the clinical syndrome caused by degeneration of the frontal lobe of the...44 more...
