Diffusion tensor imaging data not available for 1 bvFTD patient. Age is included as a covariate in all contrasts. All clusters reported using threshold-free cluster enhancement method and corrected for Family-Wise Error (FWE) at p<.05. BvFTD = behavioural-variant frontotemporal dementia; SD = semantic dementia; AD = Alzheimer's disease; L = Left; B = Bilateral; MNI = Montreal Neurological Institute.
