"Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration & Dementia Syndromes" - Rachel Hamilton, Ph.D

Описание: Rachel Bencic Hamilton, Ph.D. (University of Wisconsin - Madison, 2019) is a staff neuropsychologist at the New Mexico VA Health Care System. She completed her internship at the William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital and a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. Dr. Hamilton has conducted research on the mechanisms underlying cognitive deficits in psychopathy, focusing on the neurocognitive, psychophysiological, and neurobiological correlates of attentional abnormalities characteristic of the syndrome. Additional research projects include investigation of the cognitive and neuropsychiatric predictors of deteriorating social cognition in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia and collaboration on a project formalizing a decisional capacity assessment protocol for research centers. As a clinical neuropsychologist, she provides comprehensive cognitive assessment and diagnosis of patients experiencing a variety of neurological and psychiatric conditions, with a particular interest in neuropsychiatric disorders, degenerative conditions (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, atypical parkinsonism, frontotemporal dementia), autoimmune- inflammatory diseases, concussion and traumatic brain injury, stroke, and seizure disorders.

Learning Objectives:
1. Clarify terminology related to frontotemporal lobar degeneration versus frontotemporal dementia
2. Review the clinical features, neuroanatomical and neuropathological changes, and neurocognitive profiles associated with FTLD clinical syndromes
3. Highlight considerations for differential diagnosis
4. Share clinical vignettes for each condition
