Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates how empathy, including affective, cognitive, and moral components, is affected in patients with early-stage frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), highlighting that empathy loss is a core feature of the disease.
  • Results show that while bvFTD patients have deficits across different aspects of empathy, empathic concern is primarily reduced, and this decrease is not simply due to impairments in other cognitive functions like executive functions or social cognition.
  • The research emphasizes the importance of using realistic social scenarios for assessment, as these tasks better reveal the intrinsic empathy deficits in bvFTD, which has implications for clinical diagnosis and understanding the underlying disease mechanisms.
