Abstract

These findings support the hypothesis that a frontal-subcortical abnormality is necessary to produce symptoms of depression (e.g., mood-related signs, behavioral disturbances, neurovegetative signs) in dementia. Behavioral disturbances (e.g., disinhibition, agitation, social withdrawal) were more likely to occur in FLTD than in AD or SCD.
