von Economo Neuron Density and Thalamus Volumes in Behavioral Deficits in Frontotemporal Dementia Cases with and without a C9ORF72 Repeat Expansion
5 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The early and selective loss of von Economo neurons in the anterior cingulate cortex has been linked to behavioral deficits in frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Importantly, whether these neurons are also targeted in patients with the C9ORF72 repeat expansion has yet to be established. This is of particular interest given the recent evidence highlighting the thalamus rather than anterior cingulate cortex...
