Under the name of Frontotemporal Dementias (FTD) numerous
hereditary and sporadic disorders are listed. FTD may take away
speech and language, social skills and ethical judgement, wishes
and will, empathy and emotions; it may also impair motor functions.
FTD may affect men and women in midlife or during old age leading
to the demolition of the uniqueness of the human mind. In the last
decade of the 20th century and in the first two decades of the 21st
century, progress in the understanding of clinical,
neuropathological, biochemical, and genetic aspects of FTD has
accelerated. The novel awareness about FTD has directed young
generations of researchers toward the study of this complex group
of disorders. This Volume has been formulated with the
participation of some of the leading scientists who have
contributed to the development of knowledge in the clinical and
basic science arenas. It captures the current central elements that
are relevant to an up-to-date understanding of causes and
pathogenesis of multiple forms of FTD. The volume is an opus that
represents a distillation of the work of many scientists and
addresses the current directions in the study of one of the most
complex groups of diseases. In view of its structure, the book
could also be used as a textbook, that offers both a broad and deep
analysis of major areas in FTD. This book, planned by the
International Society for Frontotemporal Dementias, is distinctive
as it opens a window to a wide landscape about the biology of FTD.
Thus, the book represents a moment of reflection on the present
state of our knowledge of FTD and a collective vision toward
scientific progress. The authors of each chapter share their
knowledge and vision aimed at reducing the suffering which is
caused by FTD.
