Abstract Thinking Clinical Trial
Official title:
Neuropsychological and Anatomical Study of Concept Formation in Frontal Patients
The capacity of concept formation is not well understood, even if a link is supposed with
the functioning of the frontal lobes.
Our aim is to better understand the cognitive mechanisms underlying this function and to try
to correlate the performance with atrophy of the frontal lobe in neurodegenerative diseases
involving this region (frontotemporal lobar degeneration and progressive supranuclear
palsy).
