Module 18

Frontotemporal Dementia

Recently, the actor Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, or FTD, a rare type of dementia that typically affects people ages 45 to 64. In contrast to Alzheimer’s, in which the primary initial symptom is memory loss, FTD typically involves changes in behavior. Frontotemporal disorders (FTD), sometimes called frontotemporal dementia, result from damage to neurons in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Many possible symptoms can result, including unusual behaviors, emotional problems, trouble communicating, difficulty with work, or difficulty walking.
