Ingram et al. compare language impairments caused by stroke with those caused by neurodegeneration (primary progressive aphasia), and show that the variations of phenotype reflect four graded behavioural dimensions. bit.ly/3mKd4Jm

So thrilled to share our longitudinal work on apathy in presymptomatic genetic FTD, now online at Alzheimer's Association - many thanks Cambridge FTD @rogierK Jon Rohrer Kamen Tsvetanov Timothy Rittman Simon Jones and all the GENFI team for this fantastic collaboration over these years

Our poster at INS #INS2021VirtualEvent - in a sample of genetic mutation carriers with prodromal bvFTD, we show that the three main disease-causing genes are associated with different cognitive profiles (data from the ALLFTD consortium)

Our case report is finally out! We describe the first detailed neuropsychological investigation of an adult with an extremely rare congenital brain malformation (partial rhombencephalosynapsis & corpus callosum dysgenesis), who presented with verbal adynamia and a superior IQ

Fascinating work separating the symptom of anhedonia from apathy and depression - such a critical theoretical (and clinically relevant) concept, especially in bvFTD. Congratulations on an excellent paper!

Very excited and proud to share that Megan Barker will be giving an oral presentation at the upcoming AAIC on her amazing and important work on preliminary diagnostic criteria for prodromal bvFTD & will be chairing this FTD session! Congratulations !!

In 2016, a woman (age 54 at the time) contacted us who was living without her left temporal lobe. She didn't know about her missing temp. lobe until age 25. She never experienced any head trauma/injury, so the temp. lobe was likely lost as a result of pre/perinatal stroke. 1/n
