Funded Activity Summary

Frontotemporal dementia accounts for 12-20% of all dementia cases. It is as common as Alzheimer�s disease in the < 65 year olds but understanding of this disease remains limited. Marked eating disturbance (overeating, snatching food) is a common clinical manifestation. This project will characterise this deficit and define its biological causes using blood tests and magnetic resonance imaging. Results will help in designing therapeutic interventions targeting this disabling feature.
