How preserved is emotion recognition in Alzheimer disease compared with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia?
How preserved is emotion recognition in Alzheimer disease compared with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia?
Emotion recognition deficit is a hallmark feature of behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD)1 and has therefore substantial diagnostic potential to distinguish bvFTD from other neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer disease (AD).2 Nevertheless, AD patients have also been reported to show emotion recognition deficits in some studies3 but not others.4 The current study explores the clinical factors that influence facial emotion recognition in AD, which will inform future diagnoses of both diseases. For this purpose, we compare the facial emotion recognition performance in a large sample of AD and bvFTD patients and controls. A subset of patients had pathophysiological diagnosis confirmation via cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers.

Abstract
Emotion recognition deficit is a hallmark feature of behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD)1 and has therefore substantial diagnostic potential to distinguish bvFTD from other neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer disease (AD).2 Nevertheless, AD patients have also been reported to show emotion recognition deficits in some studies3 but not others.4 The current study explores the clinical factors that influence facial emotion recognition in AD, which will inform future diagnoses of both diseases. For this purpose, we compare the facial emotion recognition performance in a large sample of AD and bvFTD patients and controls. A subset of patients had pathophysiological diagnosis confirmation via cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers.
