The loss of pleasure can indicate dementia, declares a new study
According to a recent study published in the medical newspaperBrain, loss of pleasure, called clinically Anhedonia, is a feature of the FTD. Professor Muirann Irish of the University of Sydney Spirit Center and the Spirit of the Psychology of Sydney University at the Faculty of Science and Head of the Study, explained in a press release according to which it is the first research that explored the way people with the condition suffer the pleasure of people.
Professor Irish explained toABC AustraliaShe and her team wanted to determine if people living with different types of dementia are experimenting in the same way as they did when they were healthy. Using a study group consisting of 172 participants-87 people FTD and 34 with Alzheimer's disease - they used two strategies. The first asked their caregivers and projected how much pleasure they felt before the disease and asked them to compare it at the levels of happiness afterwards.
"We found that patients with frontal dementia showing a sharp drop in their pre-dementia notes [Happiness] at the current moment," said Irish teacher at the exit. "We did not find the same loss of striking pleasure with the patients with Alzheimer's disease, which is quite interesting in itself." Then they also used imaging technology to confirm that this loss of joy was linked to the deterioration of the brain pleasure system.
"We know that [people with FTD] become extremely withdrawn and fairly apathetic and lose interest in social commitments, in the hobbies they used to continue," said Irish teacher. "They end up becoming very removed and isolated. All these signs may indicate a melee, or amortization of pleasure in these patients, and that's exactly what we found in this study."

The results can lead to new therapies
Dr. Irish hopes that his conclusions will encourage new treatment treatments. "It is useful to understand that behavioral changes are not the result of being difficult or to be opposite. It is motivated by the brain," she said. "It's not just that your love is acting deliberately provocative, otherwise they do not want to join you for dinner. It's more than the circuits in the brain that allow them to anticipate and react positively to these experiences. Do not work properly.
