Brain Study of Patients With Frontal Lobe Dementia and Parkinsonian Disorders

Terminated

• Conditions: Down's Syndrome; Dementia; Alzheimer's Disease

• Registration Number: NCT00001178
• Lead Sponsor: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)

Brief Summary

The Cognitive Neuroscience Section of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke proposes to continue its cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of cerebral metabolism in frontal lobe dementias and atypical basal ganglia disorders. These studies include repeated assessments of neuropsychological and brain anatomical and metabolic function in subjects with these important and possibly related brain disorders.

Detailed Description

Objective

To continue the cross-sectional and longitudinal studies performed by the Cognitive Neuroscience Section of NINDS on the neuroanatomy, cerebral metabolism, neuropsychology, and genetics of frontotemporal dementia, corticobasal syndrome, and related brain disorders.

Study population

Frontal lobe dementias and atypical basal ganglia disorders including frontotemporal dementia, corticobasal syndrome, and related brain disorders.

Design

A cross-sectional assessment of neuropsychological, brain anatomical and metabolic function, and genetic measures in subjects with these disorders.

Outcome measures

MRI, FDG-PET, neuropsychological and clinical tests, genetics, and neuropathology.
