Abstract

Changes in behaviour are common in Motor Neurone Disease (MND) with up to 15 per cent meeting criteria for frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Higher rates of neuropsychiatric disorders have been found in both MND patients and their family members suggesting a possible overlap between MND, FTD and neuropsychiatric disorders. In this preliminary analysis, we found generally low rates of neuropsychiatric disorders in MND patients and their family members, consistent with healthy controls (HC) and their family members. Future research aims to examine associations between neuropsychiatric symptoms and cognitive and behavioural changes.
