| ABSTRACT |
Changes in cortical oscillatory dynamics are associated with both disinhibition and social cognition impairments in frontotemporal dementia. Thus, brain oscillations indexing behavioural control would provide a neuropathological pathway tackling different sources of impaired control in bvFTD. Here, I propose a new agenda pointing to a potential general oscillatory mechanism of control underlying motor, behavioural and social inappropriateness in frontotemporal degeneration. Frontal oscillatory networks (in particular at beta band) may index a general mechanism of impaired control underlying multiple deficits in bvFTD. Thus, multiple impaired behaviors (contextual inappropriateness, social disinhibition, impulsive behavior) in bvFTD could be partially explained by a common underlying mechanism involved in behavioural inhibition and social cognition. |
