“…The affective component of mentalization is impaired early in bvFTD (Adenzato et al, 2010;Bora et al, 2015;Dodich et al, 2016;Henry et al, 2014;Orso et al, 2020;Pardini et al, 2013;Poletti et al, 2012Poletti et al, , 2013Torralva et al, 2015), and individuals with bvFTD exhibit decreased performance on moral dilemmas, where they do not foresee negative emotional reactions when contemplating directly harming others (Greene and Haidt, 2002;Greene et al, 2001). Furthermore, when viewing moving geometric shapes (Fong et al, 2017), individuals with bvFTD who have right IFG atrophy show significantly decreased anthropomorphization compared with controls. Additional evidence for impaired "humanness" perception is that individuals with frontotemporal dementia who are artists, specifically caricaturists, may draw others in a progressively distorted, nonhuman, or "alien" fashion as their dementia progresses (Mendez and Perryman, 2003).…”
