   Proposal Description:
   <textarea name="description" rows="12" cols="85" wrap="virtual" readonly>Specific Aim 1:  Determine if the frequency of high educational attainment (eg, 18 years, Masters or Doctorate level degree) is significantly greater in patients with a clinically-diagnosed frontotemporal lobar degeneration-spectrum disorder compared to patients with Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease with/without dementia, Huntington's disease, and vascular dementia.    Specific Aim 2:  Determine if the frequency of high educational attainment (eg, 18 years, Masters or Doctorate level degree) is significantly greater in patients with a pathologically-diagnosed frontotemporal lobar degeneration-spectrum disorder compared to patients with Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease with/without dementia, Huntington's disease, and vascular dementia. </textarea>
