   Proposal Description:
   Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is one of the most common cause of early-onset      dementia. Behavioral variant FTD or bvFTD represents the most common subtype of   FTD. The accuracy of this diagnostic criteria is still uncertain. Nevertheless,   the old criteria for diagnosis has been utilized for greater than ten years       with limitations. Recently a new International consensus criteria for bvFTD       diagnosis has been established during the April 2011 American Association of      Neurology (AAN) Conference. Due to its relatively recent introduction, this       criteria has not been studied as extensively. The aim of this study is to         review proven cases of FTD pathology from the NACC database. Neuropathological    diagnosis in the form of postmortem tissue analysis will be the gold standard     for comparison. All cases of autopsy-proven FTD will be reviewed and correlated   with neuropsychiatric symptoms of patients. Neuropsychiatric symptoms include     symptoms of emotion, social awareness, disinhibition, stereotype behavior and     impulsivity. This study will be useful by allowing researchers to gain more       confidence in the diagnosis of this difficult condition.
