Abstract
Dementia is generally regarded as a condition marked by losses: loss of memory, reasoning abilities, and language, for example. However, this is not always the case. In frontotemporal dementia (FTD), behaviors deviating from the patient’s prior set of norms and standards frequently occur. We report two individuals with FTD who experienced a change in musical taste that might represent a singular gain.
