Extractions: Email: nlfoster@umich.edu Norman Foster studies the clinical features and pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia and related neurodegenerative disorders. Using positron emission tomography (PET), he has found that these age-related illnesses exhibit different patterns of selective neuronal vulnerability that correspond to symptoms that patients experience. In Alzheimer's disease for example, there is a decline in cerebral glucose metabolism particularly in the posterior temporoparietal cortex with relative sparing of the primary motor and sensory cortex. This accounts for the development of profound memory, language and visuospatial deficits at a time when patients are without any physical disability. His recent work with investigators in the Division of Nuclear Medicine has found that the posterior cingulate gyrus is affected early in Alzheimer's disease which may aid in diagnosis. He and his collaborators have examined cholinergic and dopaminergic PET markers in dementia and studied the effects of drug treatment on measures of cholinesterase in the brain. He is also interested in clinicopathological correlation in genetic forms of dementia.
