Why do people stay well for so many years despite carrying frontotemporal dementia gene mutations from the start?

It is fantastic to be working together with CurePSP - an amazing charity, run by brilliant people - to accelerate research towards finding treatments for people living with PSP and CBD!

Semantic variant primary progressive aphasia #svPPA (#SemanticDementia) Is it genetic ? Looks increasingly unlikely, in puzzling contrast to other forms of frontotemporal dementia See new data from Shalom Henderson MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit and GENFI team medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

The prefrontal cortex - it does so much that makes us who we are as people. Inspired? puzzled? want to know more? The Ernst Strüngmann Institute have published the definitive guide, to PFC in health, disease, evolution, structure, function, cognition & more see esforum.de/publications/s…
