Cognitive and Behavioral Abnormalities in FTD Mutation Carriers: Insights into Shared Mechanisms with ADD/ADHD Disorder
Baseline impairments in cognitive function, memory, and neuropsychiatric profiles distinguish converters from non-converters, highlighting overlaps between ADD/ADHD traits and prodromal FTD. These findings suggest shared neurobiological mechanisms and underscore the need for mutation-specific studies to further explore the neurodevelopmental factors driving FTD progression.
