International Congress on Frontotemporal Dementias 2022

Du
au
LILLE GRAND PALAIS 1, Boulevard des Cités Unies 59000 Lille

After Sydney, Munich and Vancouver, this biennial congress of the international Society of FTD will be held in France, a country very much involved in this group of  diseases, in November 2022.

Frontotemporal dementia is the second most common cause of early onset dementia and a challenging differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease whatever the age.

Behavioural changes, language and motor disorders are the main symptoms, which may have a devastating  impact on families, but an underestimated number manifest as memory disorders long indistinguishable from Alzheimer's disease.

Several pathological subtypes underlie the disease, and genetics plays an important role, which contributes to the devastating impact of the disease on the families, but opens up therapeutic perspectives. Considerable progress has been made over the last 20 years in understanding the molecular basis of FTD and in developing therapeutic approaches.

This congress is organised by the Centre d'excellences des maladies neurodégénératives (CoEN) of Lille and Paris.
