Amygdala subnuclei are differentially affected in the different genetic and pathological forms of frontotemporal dementia

摘要

IntroductionFrontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder with multiple genetic and pathological causes. It is characterized by both cortical and subcortical atrophies, with previous studies showing early involvement of the amygdala. However, no prior study has specifically investigated the atrophy of different subnuclei of the amygdala.
