ABSTRACT
It has now been more than 110 years since Arnold Pick described the first of a series of cases separating focal atrophies from what at that time was called senile atrophy. The title of that article, "On the Relationship Between Senile Cerebral Atrophy and Aphasia,"¹ reflects the essence of the case report, that of progressive aphasia, focal, temporal atrophy.
