SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
A single authoritative reference on the current understanding of frontotemporal dementia in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), this is a comprehensive work ideal for clinical and research groups focusing on dementia or ALS, as well as those working in the fields of neuroimaging and neuropsychology. Key topics include frontotemporal dementia, including history, anatomy, and impairment; clinical phenomenology and treatment; cognitive dysfunction; neuroimaging; molecular and cellular neuropathology; genetics; and neurochemistry.
