Surface projection of FDG-PET SUVR (whole brain norm) Z-scores relative to large normative database. What is the diagnosis? Have you seen a case like this?

@DavidJonesBrain I agree w you Dave—sounds like this is syndromically a case of progressive semantic memory impairment for people, not simply prosopagnosia like in this early paper but multi-modal person-specific knowledge:

In our recent work, we elucidate the underlying mechanism of language abnormalities in Alzheimer's disease, such as overusing pronouns and verbs. The insights were gained from a comparison between English and Persian. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited that this paper is published by PNAS today where we show how speakers maintain a balance between the complexity of words and syntax; and how this property may assist aphasia patients to better communicate
Big thanks to @DickersonLabMGH @LanguageMIT @kmahowald @raryskin

Our new #superaging paper out now in Cerebral Cortex! tinyurl.com/rv66eauh
We show that superagers (older adults with youthful memory) retain their selective and efficient ability to process visual stimuli, allowing them to form distinct memories.

Today was surReality @ MGH... this afternoon was my first FTD clinic since March 9. Valuable safety protocols in place, but strangely quiet except for a few patients (after a very busy morning of virtual clinic)

In a recent webinar hosted by @homeinstead, AFTD's Matthew Sharp & Deena Chisholm discuss caring for persons living with #FTD, ways in which FTD differs from #Alzheimers, and the many resources and services AFTD can provide to those facing this disease: bit.ly/33FLHHt
