Video insights

@pbsnews's TikTok video "While frontotemporal dementia, or FTD, is "a cousin to Alzheimer's" genetically, it is symptomatically different in the beginning, says Robert Kolker, author of “The Vanishing Family.” Unlike Alzheimer’s disease, which can affect memory and cognition, FTD “hits your impulsivity and your apathy, and your personality,” he told Horizons host William Brangham. "It's not like the people who have it become narcissistic or become evil, it's simply that they become less capable of understanding that other people have wants and needs," Kolker added. Horizons from PBS News, dives into the science, health, technology and environmental issues making headlines each week.
