Theory of Mind and Recognition of Facial Emotion in Dementia: Challenge to Current Concepts
Current literature suggests that theory of mind (ToM) and recognition of facial emotion are impaired in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). In contrast, studies suggest that ToM is spared in Alzheimer disease (AD). However,...
Spatial patterns of correlation between cortical amyloid and cortical thickness in a tertiary clinical...
Overview of approachAchieving accurate correlation of cortical atrophy and amyloid burden throughout the brain depends on obtaining a near-exact coregistration of PET to MRI, such that the cortical ribbon from each modality shares considerable...
