“…We found 35 relevant papers reporting the degradation, emergence, preservation or improvement of creative expression in 53 patients after the onset of different neurological diseases (see Table 1): 19 patients with temporal variant FTD (semantic dementia), 10 patients with behavioral variant FTD, eight patients with Alzheimer's disease, four patients with primary progressive non-fluent aphasia, and 12 patients with various neurological diseases (Espinel, 1996; Miller et al, 1998, 2000; Crutch et al, 2001; Thomas-Anterion et al, 2002, 2010; Kleiner-Fisman et al, 2003; Mell et al, 2003; Mendez and Perryman, 2003; Annoni et al, 2005; Fornazzari, 2005; Lythgoe et al, 2005; Serrano et al, 2005; Chatterjee et al, 2006; Drago et al, 2006a,b; Budrys et al, 2007; Finney and Heilman, 2007; Midorikawa et al, 2008; Seeley et al, 2008; Liu et al, 2009; Thomas-Anterion, 2009; Chakravarty, 2011; Chatterjee et al, 2011; van Buren et al, 2013; Galarza et al, 2014; Takahata et al, 2014). All reported patients with temporal FTD ( n = 19) presented the emergence ( n = 11), increase ( n = 2), or preservation ( n = 6) of creative production but no degradation of artistic abilities (Miller et al, 1996, 1998; Edwards-Lee et al, 1997; Drago et al, 2006b; Wu et al, 2013).…”
