Frontotemporal degeneration is a general name for syndromes characterized by the deterioration of the function of the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain and the resulting symptoms.

The most typical symptoms of frontotemporal dementia are changes in personality and behavior.

The activity is often stimulus-related, i.e. the patient acts impulsively according to the stimuli that come in front of him, regardless of whether it is meaningful. All this weakens the ability to function socially.
