Title: Dissociations between musical semantic memory and verbal memory in a patient with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia.
Authors: Tirigay, Romina (AUTHOR), Moltrasio, Julieta (AUTHOR), Rubinstein, Wanda (AUTHOR)
Source: Applied Neuropsychology: Adult. Jan/Feb2025, Vol. 32 Issue 1, p75-84. 10p.
Subjects: Verbal memory, Episodic memory, Frontotemporal dementia, Musical aesthetics, Popular music genres, Semantic memory
Abstract: Objectives: Patients with dementia show dissociations between musical semantic memory (i.e., spared musical lexicon) and other memory modalities, except in some severe cases. We aim to study, from a neuropsychological point of view, the dissociation between musical semantic memory compared to language and verbal memory in a patient with severe Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia (bvFTD). We hypothesize a single dissociation between these domains will be found, with sparing of musical semantic memory. Methods: LC, a patient with severe bvFTD, and three matched controls were assessed through language, semantic, and episodic memory, and musical semantic memory tasks. The control group had similar music taste as LC: to participate as controls, tango must be one of their favorite musical genres. Results: LC showed impairment in all Verbal Memory tasks, but not in musical tasks. There was a dissociation between musical semantic memory, and language and verbal semantic memory. Conclusions: The musical lexicon can be preserved in advanced stages of dementia, which supports the idea that music can be a therapeutic tool in patients with severe dementia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
