She starts to be her old self again”
We investigated perceptions of identity in Alzheimer’s disease and behavioural-variant frontotemporal dementia.

Family members’ perceptions of people with dementia changed over time. Compared with Alzheimer’s disease, behavioural-vari…
Music evoked autobiographical memories in people with behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia
Music is highly efficient at evoking autobiographical memories in both healthy and neurological populations. Music evoked autobiographical memories (MEAMs) are preserved in people with Alzheimer's Dementia (AD), and occur at the same frequency as in healthy people.

Two hundred participants who were currently in a romantic relationship, diverse in age and relationship length and status, reported whether they …
