Welcome to From Care to Cure, a podcast from the Massachusetts General Hospital Frontotemporal Disorders Unit.  Our second episode of season 2 showcases a conversation between our host, Katie Brandt, the Director of Caregiver Support Services and Public Relations at the MGH FTD Unit, and Dr. Deepti Putcha, a neuropsychologist and the Director of the MGH FTD Unit’s Posterior Cortical Atrophy Program, about the role that neuropsychologists can play on an FTD care team and the importance of neuropsychological testing in diagnosis, understanding of disease progression and research.

The MGH FTD Unit clinical research program is committed toproviding the highest quality of care while we work tirelessly for a cure for FTD, atypical and young-onset forms of Alzheimer’s Disease and related neurological disorders. You can learn more about the MGH FTD Unit at www.FTDBoston.org.

We would like to thank Bernie Metzger for our beautifulmusic, an excerpt from Bernie’s composition Ramblings An FTD Journey, inspired by his wife Karen Zander’s journey with FTD.
