Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder (FTND) is a type of dementia that affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, causing behavioral changes and language problems. FTND can cause Alzheimer's-like symptoms such as cognitive deterioration, but does not involve the presence of plaques and neurofibrillary tangles which are hallmark characteristics of Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, FTND can cause flagrant sexual behavior and a loss of modesty, which is not typically seen in Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, option C is the best choice for this question.
