“…These features are due to loss of lexico-semantic information and are consistent with the symptoms of Gogi aphasia [10,11]. Taken together, we can call this state progressive Gogi aphasia [21], a Japanese manifestation of semantic dementia.…”

“…The language profile of semantic variant PPA, also recognized as “fluent PPA” (Adlam et al, 2006; Clark et al, 2005), “temporal variant FTD” (Bozeat et al, 2000), “semantic dementia” (Hodges et al, 1992; Snowden et al, 1989) or, in Japanese literature, “Gogi (word meaning) aphasia” (Tanabe et al, 1992), is probably the most homogeneous among all PPA syndromes associated with FTLD. Overall, this variant of PPA is characterized by a progressive loss of semantic knowledge (Hodges et al, 1992; Julien et al, 2008; Kashibayashi et al, 2010; Mayberry et al, 2011; Snowden et al, 1989; see also Gorno-Tempini et al, 2011).…”

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) represents a spectrum of non-Alzheimer’s degenerative conditions associated with focal atrophy of the frontal and/or temporal lobes. Frontal and temporal regions of the brain have been shown to be strongly involved in executive function, social cognition and language processing and, thus, deficits in these domains are frequently seen in patients with FTD or may even be hallmarks of a specific FTD subtype ( i.e., relatively selective and progressive language impairment in primary progressive aphasia). In this review, we have attempted to delineate how language, executive function, and social cognition may contribute to the diagnosis of FTD syndromes, namely the behavioral variant FTD as well as the language variants of FTD including the three subtypes of primary progressive aphasia (PPA): non-fluent/agrammatic, semantic, and logopenic. This review also addresses the extent to which deficits in these cognitive areas contribute to the differential diagnosis of FTD versus AD. Finally, early clinical determinants of pathology are briefly discussed and contemporary challenges to the diagnosis of FTD are presented.

“…In terms of writing ability, although he could not write kanji characters, he performed better in the kana writing test. In the Gogi (word meaning) aphasia battery [14], a marked deficit in kanji reading was observed (1/5), whereas kana reading was well preserved (5/5), even when both letters represented the same meaning (table 2). In contrast to the patient in case 1, he sometimes could not understand the meaning of objects.…”

Background/Aim: Some patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) have been shown to develop painting abilities after the onset of the disease; however, the reported cases have all been in western countries. The purpose of this report was to investigate whether this phenomenon was unique to western countries. Methods: 2 patients participated in this study. They were nonwestern uneducated patients with FTLD, semantic dementia subtype, who developed drawing skills after the onset of the disease. We compared their drawings with drawings in previous reports. Results: The characteristics of their paintings matched those of paintings from previously reported cases despite the cultural differences. Conclusion: These results support the assumption that the appearance of painting skills during this illness is not a reflection of learning, but instead is an expression of innate functions of the brain.
