Early diagnosis of MCI can guide timely treatment and delay dementia onset. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is an effective screening tool for MCI. Remotely administered versions of the MoCA have gained popularity during the recent pandemic.Objective: This study aimed to validate a new Hindi version of the Telephone MoCA (T-MoCA) in older adult outpatients at a tertiary hospital in Delhi, India.Methods: We developed and validated a Hindi version of the T-MoCA (T-MoCA-Hindi) using the previously validated MoCA-Hindi as the gold standard. We administered both instruments to older adult patients with a 2-week gap between sessions. To assess the reliability of the new T-MoCA-Hindi, we used the Bland-Altman plot and Cronbach alpha. We used a receiver operating characteristic curve to estimate accuracy.Results: A total of 243 individuals enrolled in this study. The T-MoCA-Hindi and the MoCA-Hindi showed a high level of agreement. A Cronbach alpha of 0.84 indicated good internal consistency. The area under the curve in the receiver operating characteristic analysis was 93.5%, indicating excellent accuracy and validity and demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity at an optimal cut-off score of 18/19 points.Conclusion: These findings show that the T-MoCA-Hindi is a valid tool for remote identification of MCI in India. The use of remote versions of diagnostic tools can be leveraged to conduct research when in-person approaches may not be feasible.","PeriodicalId":50671,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143702017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initial misdiagnosis is common, as demonstrated by this case involving a 52-year-old female who presented with symptoms of limb numbness and weakness. Differential diagnosis first indicated Parkinsonism, lacunar infarction, and cervical spondylosis. Subsequently, however, this patient's clinical presentation evolved to include bradykinesia, cognitive decline, and a spectrum of neurological manifestations. A Pan-V2 assay revealed a heterozygous mutation in the CSF1R gene. Craniocerebral MRI showed cerebral infarctions, lacunar infarctions, and leukoaraiosis. Despite symptomatic treatments, our patient's clinical status continued to decline until her family chose to discontinue further medical interventions. This case underscores the diagnostic complexities of early detection of CSF1R-related disorders. It emphasizes the importance of including leukodystrophy in such differential diagnoses and the need for prompt genetic screening in patients who present with progressive leukoencephalopathy, especially when cerebrospinal fluid analysis is unremarkable.","PeriodicalId":50671,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology","volume":" ","pages":"16-20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142958450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although their common-name anomia, alexia with agraphia, and semantic memory impairment resolved within 2 years, this individual continued to experience proper-name anomia and verbal memory impairment. Encephalitic damage was limited to the left anterior temporal lobe (ATL), amygdala, hippocampus, and parahippocampal gyrus, sparing the mid-fusiform and posterior inferior temporal gyri. Although ATL lesions are not typically associated with semantic memory impairment, we suggest that damage to the left ATL can result in both proper- and common-name anomia, as was evident in the current case. In these cases, proper-name anomia may be more severe and persistent than common-name anomia, which may be mild and significantly improved within several years. In cases of semantic memory deficits, persistent common-name anomia, and severe alexia with agraphia, there is typically more extensive involvement of the temporal lobe than seen in the current case, including the mid-fusiform and posterior inferior temporal gyri.","PeriodicalId":50671,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology","volume":" ","pages":"21-32"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143014899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Language impairment in individuals with MCI has been attributed primarily to the breakdown of semantic representations, difficulties in accessing semantic information, and the weakening of executive functions. However, in most prior studies of word processing in individuals with MCI, researchers have used measures focused on noun production.Objective: To investigate how verb production tasks might aid in detecting cognitive impairment in individuals with MCI.Methods: We compared the performance of 45 individuals with MCI and 45 healthy controls on action naming and action fluency tasks.Results: In the action naming task, the performance of participants with MCI was significantly impaired compared to healthy controls in terms of total score, the number of semantic errors produced, and the use of generic terms. In the action fluency task, participants with MCI produced significantly fewer verbs, fewer clusters, and fewer switches than healthy controls.Conclusion: The results of our study emphasize the utility of verb production tasks in the identification of cognitive impairment in individuals with MCI and provide evidence of the importance of including action naming and action fluency tasks in the assessment of individuals with MCI.","PeriodicalId":50671,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology","volume":" ","pages":"183-193"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142367309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we present the case of a 57-year-old man who presented to our memory clinic with progressive cognitive decline and a prior neuropsychological evaluation supporting the diagnosis of a neurodegenerative disorder. He was taking multiple psychotropic medications at the time, but the exact dosages were unclear due to a lack of collateral history. He was also taking prescribed opioids and a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone for pain relief, again with unclear dosages at the time of presentation. Brain imaging and cerebrospinal spinal fluid biomarker testing were negative for Alzheimer pathophysiologic processes. Months later, the patient was taken to the emergency room after an overdose caused by overuse of opioid medications. Once he was taken off all psychoactive medications, the patient's cognitive impairment completely reversed, and he became independent in activities of daily living. Psychotropic polypharmacy can have a myriad of cognitive manifestations which need to be better recognized by clinicians.

The discrepancy between bedside clinical diagnosis and subsequent neuropathological findings in such cases further highlights the difficulty of accurately predicting pathology, especially when there are no evident focal lesions or changes in brain volume. Here we present the case of a 59-year-old woman with inconclusive neuroimaging who exhibited pronounced neuropsychiatric and behavioral symptoms initially suggestive of a mood disorder, then of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia. However, upon autopsy, we identified coexisting Lewy body disease pathology and tau-related changes, including argyrophilic grain disease and primary age-related tauopathy. This case illustrates the challenges encountered when diagnosing late-onset neuropsychiatric symptoms, emphasizes the link between such symptoms and early-onset dementia and argyrophilic grain disease, and contributes to our understanding of the impact of mixed neuropathology in this population. Accurate diagnosis is essential for the development of molecular-specific therapies and, as well as for accurate prognosis and enrollment in clinical trials.","PeriodicalId":50671,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology","volume":"37 4","pages":"226-236"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142774442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
