While some older adults experience minimal cognitive decline, others exhibit more pronounced deterioration that can progress to Alzheimer’s disease dementia (AD). Some older individ...

Introduction The accumulation of neurofibrillary tau tangles, a neuropathological hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), occurs in medial temporal lobe (MTL) regions early in the disease process, with some of the earliest deposits localized to subregions of the entorhinal cortex.

Establishing reliable measures and neural correlates of social cognition may aid in staging and monitoring FTD subtypes. Here, we examined group differences in social cognitive measures between FTD subtypes and cortica...
