Brain MRI Showing Disease Progression over Time

Caption

Adam L. Boxer, M.D., Ph.D., who leads the RDCRN-supported Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD) Clinical Research Consortium, is exploring a group of progressive brain diseases that damage brain networks controlling behavior, cognition and movement. This image illustrates severe brain tissue loss over one year for patients with two types of FTLD: behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (red-yellow) and progressive supranuclear palsy (yellow, orange and blue).
