OBJECTIVE
To contrast the relationships of hormonal eating peptides and hypothalamic volumes to eating behavior and metabolic changes (body mass index [BMI]) in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA).
METHODS
Seventy-five patients
We studied underlying pathomechanisms in tauopathies using pR5 mice that express the P301L tau mutation found in familial forms of frontotemporal dementia. In a longitudinal study we investigated the functional status of glycogen synthase kinase-3 and correlated it with the appearance of distinct
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/frontotemporal dementia (ALS/FTD) includes a large spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders.To identify the relationship of ErbB4 mutation and ALS/FTD.Here, we report an atypical case of frontal Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is characterized by cognitive and behavioral changes and, in a significant subset of patients, Parkinsonism. Histopathologically, FTD frequently presents with tau-containing lesions, which in familial cases result from mutations in the MAPT gene encoding tau. Here we
Two members of the family of low-density lipoprotein receptors (i.e., very low-density lipoprotein [VLDL] receptor and apolipoprotein E [apoE] type 2 receptor) are expressed in brain, where they bind and transduce reelin, a secreted glycoprotein that shares structural analogies with extracellular
Aggregation of fused in sarcoma (FUS) protein, and mutations in FUS gene, are causative to a range of neurodegenerative disorders including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia. To gain insights into the molecular mechanism whereby FUS causes neurodegeneration, we
Frontotemporal dementia and Parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) is an autosomal dominant condition clinically characterized by behavioral, cognitive and motor disturbances. It was recently discovered that the majority of the FTDP-17 families carry missense or 5' splice mutations in the
Aberrant RNA-binding proteins form the core of the neurodegeneration cascade in spectrums of disease, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)/frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Six ALS-related molecules, TDP-43, FUS, TAF15, EWSR1, heterogeneous nuclear (hn)RNPA1 and hnRNPA2 are RNA-binding proteins
Prions are self-templating protein conformers that are naturally transmitted between individuals and promote phenotypic change. In yeast, prion-encoded phenotypes can be beneficial, neutral or deleterious depending upon genetic background and environmental conditions. A distinctive and portable
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized histopathologically by beta-amyloid-containing plaques, neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), reduced synaptic density, and neuronal loss in selected brain areas. Plaques consist of aggregates of a small peptide termed Abeta which is derived by proteolysis of the
Adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP) is a progressive degenerative white matter disorder. ALSP was previously recognized as two distinct entities, hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids (HDLS) and pigmentary orthochromatic leukodystrophy
Neurodegeneration of the locus coeruleus (LC) in age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) is well documented. However, detailed studies of LC neurodegeneration in the full spectrum of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) proteinopathies comparing tauopathies
Inclusions containing Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) are found in familial and sporadic cases of the incurable progressive motor neuron disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and in a common form of dementia, frontotemporal dementia. Most disease-associated mutations are located in the C-terminal
Insulin resistance causes diminished glucose uptake in similar regions of the brain in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Brain tissue studies suggested that insulin resistance is caused by low insulin receptor signaling attributable to its abnormal association with more
