		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times has a very nice article about Frontotemporal demetia (FTD). This type of dementia is interesting, affecting personality, inhibition, attention, and language. It is similar to Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease but has a different progression and manifestation. Anyway, the article provides a nice picture of the disease. Related posts: Time for an OCD Post Blog [...]

At that rate, one in 85 people will have the brain-destroying disease in 40 years, researchers from Johns Hopkins University conclude.&#8221; It&#8217;s had to imagine the costs on society [...]

		<description><![CDATA[There are two general classes of dementias: cortical and subcortical. A cortical dementia is one like Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease (AD) where the outer layer (the &#8220;bark&#8221;) of the brain is first affected. AD typically affects the ventromedial frontal and dorsomedial temporal lobes first. The medial portions of the temporal lobes (e.g., hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus) are [...]
