Upon completion of the article by Ahmed et al, the participant should be able to:
• Discuss what type of behavioral differences were seen between patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-frontotemporal dementia (ALS-FTD)-with either an initial motor or cognitive presentation-in this study
• State how the presence of atrophy in specific brain regions differed between patients with ALS-FTD and bvFTD in this study
• Describe differences in survival duration between patients with ALS-FTD with a cognitive presentation, ALS-FTD with a motor presentation, and bvFTD observed in this study
