Brain atrophy in PCA

As with typical Alzheimer's disease, PCA is a progressive condition. This progression can be observed in the following video clip, which shows the loss of brain tissue in one individual with PCA over the course of 58 months. Watch the video a few times focussing on the front of the brain (on the right) where there is little change. Then watch the video a few more times focussing on the back of the brain (on the left). The greater loss of brain tissue at the back of the brain, typical in people with PCA, is clear to see.
