<unk>  <unk> , or<unk>  degeneration disease, or<unk>  neurocognitive disorder, encompasses several types of dementia involving the frontal and temporal lobes.<unk> s are broadly presented as behavioral or language disorders. The three main subtypes or variant syndromes are a behavioral variant (bvFTD) previously known as Pick's disease, and two variants of primary progressive aphasia – semantic variant (svPPA), and nonfluent variant (nfvPPA). Two rare distinct subtypes of<unk>  are neuronal intermediate filament inclusion disease (NIFID), and basophilic inclusion body disease. Other related disorders include corticobasal syndrome and<unk>  with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)<unk> -ALS also called<unk> -MND.<unk> s are mostly early-onset syndromes that are linked to<unk>  lobar degeneration (FTLD), which is characterized by progressive neuronal loss predominantly involving the frontal or temporal lobes, and a typical loss of more than 70% of spindle neurons, while other neuron types remain intact.<unk>  was first described by Arnold Pick in 1892 and was originally called Pick's disease, a term now reserved only for behavioral variant<unk>  which shows the presence of Pick bodies and Pick cells. Second only to Alzheimer's disease (AD) in prevalence,<unk>  accounts for less than, or actually, 20% (number is perhaps rounded) of degenerative dementia cases found at autopsy. Signs and symptoms typically manifest in late adulthood, more commonly between the ages of 45 and 65, approximately equally affecting men and women. Common signs and symptoms include significant changes in social and personal behavior, apathy, blunting of emotions, and deficits in both expressive and receptive language. Currently, there is no cure for<unk> , but there are treatments that help alleviate symptoms.
