Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Cognitive Neuroscience Section of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke proposes to continue its cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of cerebral metabolism in frontal lobe dementias and atypical basal ganglia disorders. These studies include repeated assessments of neuropsychological and brain anatomical and metabolic function in subjects with these important and possibly related brain disorders.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objective

To continue the cross-sectional and longitudinal studies performed by the Cognitive Neuroscience Section of NINDS on the neuroanatomy, cerebral metabolism, neuropsychology, and genetics of frontotemporal dementia, corticobasal syndrome, and related brain disorders.

Study population

Frontal lobe dementias and atypical basal ganglia disorders including frontotemporal dementia, corticobasal syndrome, and related brain disorders.

Design

A cross-sectional assessment of neuropsychological, brain anatomical and metabolic function, and genetic measures in subjects with these disorders.

Outcome measures

MRI, FDG-PET, neuropsychological and clinical tests, genetics, and neuropathology.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Diagnosis of possible / probable FTD or CBS
* Caregiver willing and able to accept the responsibilities involved in the study

Exclusion Criteria

* Pregnant women. Women of childbearing potential will be screened by history for the possibility of pregnancy and undergo a urine pregnancy test. These women will be excluded from the imaging portions of the protocol.
* Behavioral symptoms that would preclude the gathering of data for the study
* Other medical or social condition that would preclude participation in the opinion of the investigators
