   Proposal Description:
   Previous research has attempted to characterize a distinct clinical profile of hippocampal sclerosis dementia (HSD). However, the clinical and cognitive features that differentiate HSD from other dementias remain unclear. In an effort to improve clinical detection of HSD, we intend to compare longitudinal cognitive data of neuropathology-confirmed HSD subjects with those of healthy controls, as well as subjects with Alzheimer's disease and Frontotemporal dementia.
