Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), also called frontotemporal degeneration disease [1] or frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder, [2] encompasses several types of dementia involving the progressive degeneration of the brain's frontal and temporal lobes. [3] Men and women appear to be equally affected. [1]
Dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease dementia are clinically similar after dementia occurs in Parkinson's disease. [151] Delusions in Parkinson's disease dementia are less common than in DLB, [152] and persons with Parkinson's disease are typically less caught up in their visual hallucinations than those with DLB.

This is a list of major and frequently observed neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), symptoms (e.g., back pain), signs (e.g., aphasia) and syndromes (e.g., Aicardi syndrome). There is disagreement over the definitions and criteria used to delineate various disorders and whether some of these conditions should be classified as ...
Dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease dementia are similar in many ways, suggesting there may be a common pathophysiological mechanism, with PDD and DLB at opposite ends of a Lewy body disease spectrum, [2] and a shared component of protein deposits in Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites. [17]
Frontotemporal dementia, or FTD, is a rare disease that affects parts of the brain controlling behavior and language. These parts of the brain shrink as the disease gets worse. These parts of the ...

Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), also called Benson's syndrome, is a rare form of dementia which is considered a visual variant or an atypical variant of Alzheimer's disease (AD). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The disease causes atrophy of the posterior part of the cerebral cortex , resulting in the progressive disruption of complex visual processing . [ 4 ]
