Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterised by behavioural disorders that suggest abnormalities of emotional processing. In a previous study, we showed that patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and with FTD were equally able to distinguish a face displaying affect from one not displaying affect. However, recognition of emotion was worse in patients with FTD than in patients with AD who did not differ significantly from controls. The aim of this study was to follow up the perception of emotions on faces in these patients. The poor perception of emotion could worsen differently in AD and in FTD, with the progression of atrophy of the amygdala, the anterior temporal cortex and the orbital frontal cortex, structures that are components of the brain's emotional processing systems.
