Differences in quantitative EEG between frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer’s disease as revealed by LORETA

Research highlights ► A comparative study of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and healthy control subjects (NC) was carried out in terms of the cortical localization of oscillatory EEG activity. ► As compared to NC, FTD had significantly reduced alpha generators in fronto-temporal cortices, while AD showed significantly stronger delta generators that included the frontal lobes. ► ROC curves demonstrate a moderate separation of FTD, AD, and NC groups.
