| Research Abstract |
As is well known, patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) show various abnormal eating behaviors. However there are few researches focused on eating behavior in semantic dementia (SD) that is a clinical subtype of FTLD. Subjects were 19 SD patients, in which assessment scale of eating behaviors and brain SPECT were undergone. The assessment scale consists of 5 domains: swallowing problem, appetite change, food preference, eating habits and other oral behaviors. Semi-quantitative methods were used to assess rCBF changes. Regional tracer uptake was measured in region of interest (ROI) over the bilateral superior and inferior frontal cortex, lateral and medial temporal cortex, thalamus and cerebellum, and calculated ROI ratios divided by ROI in cerebellum. Using partial correlation analysis adjusted by duration of illness showed significant correlations between right frontal cortex and increased appetite, and between bilateral temporal cortex and changes of food preference.
