Abstract
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a unique neurodegenerative disease that ca n be differentiated from Alzheimer's disease and other diseases that result in cognitive complaints. The primary anatomic focus of degeneration determ ines the clinical presentation, which can vary from aphasia to behavioral s ymptoms. Expanding knowledge about the genetics and biochemistry of FTD may lead to specific treatments.
