| | Pick's disease |
 | | Pick 's disease (PiD) is a rare type of presenile dementia, neuropathologically confined to the prerolandic frontal convexity, orbitofrontal gyri, anteromesial temporal, and occasionally parietal lobes, despite the frequently documented more diffuse forebrain atrophy with striatal involvement at post-mortem examination. |
 | | Pick 's disease (PiD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that belongs to the group of "fronto-temporal dementia". |
 | | A specific neurofibrillary degeneration, revealed by the presence of Pick bodies in the hippocampus and frontotemporal cortex and an abnormal processing of tau proteins, is associated to this pathology. |
