Last year, the family of Bruce Willis announced he'd been diagnosed with aphasia, which is the loss of the ability to understand or express language.

Roubleau said intensive speech therapy can help someone with the language or aphasia variant retain language for a longer amount of time. "It also affects the temporal lobes. "So, you’ll see less brain volume on the sides where the temporal lobes are and on the front where the frontal lobes are." Roubleau explained about the progression of FTD. "You can imagine, if someone says something to you, asks you a question, a person with aphasia, they can’t receive that information and make sense of it," he said. "If you look at a brain, you’ll see space, more space than you should, in the front and on the side," explained Dr.
