Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) encompasses a group of heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders. Aside from genetic cases, its diagnosis is challenging, particularly in the early stages when symptoms are ambiguous, and structural neuroimaging does not reveal characteristic patterns. The authors performed comprehensive literature search through MEDLINE, Scopus, Web Science databases to gather evidence aid diagnostic process for suspected FTD patients, phases, even sporadic ranging established promising tools. Blood-based biomarkers might help identify very neuropathological guide further evaluations. Subsequently, neurophysiological measures reflecting functional changes cortical excitatory/inhibitory circuits, along with assessing brain network, connectivity, metabolism, perfusion alterations, could detect specific associated decades before symptom onset. As advances, cognitive-behavioral profiles atrophy patterns emerge, distinguishing subtypes. Emerging disease-modifying therapies require patient enrollment. Therefore, paradigm shift needed - relying on typical cognitive advanced cases widely applicable biomarkers, primarily fluid and, subsequently, where appropriate. Additionally, exploring subjective complaints behavioral detected by home-based technologies be crucial diagnosis.

Abstract Depression is a common and devastating neuropsychiatric symptom in the elderly patients with dementia. In particular, nearly 80% of Alzheimer’s Disease dementia experience depression during disease development progression. However, it unknown whether shares same molecular mechanisms as presenting primary psychiatric or occurs persists through alternative mechanisms. this review, we discuss how clinical presentation treatment differ between disease, focus on major depressive disorder. Then, hypothesize several that may be unique to such neuropathological changes, inflammation, vascular events. Finally, existing issues future directions for investigation
