Background:

Growing interest in non-Alzheimer neurodegenerative dementias.
Advances across genetics, neuroimaging, and clinical disciplines.
Need for clear differential diagnosis from Alzheimer's disease.

Purpose of the Study:

To review major non-Alzheimer dementias from a clinical perspective.
To aid clinicians in diagnosing conditions mimicking Alzheimer's disease.
To consolidate current understanding of differential diagnoses.

Main Methods:

Literature review of recent advances.
Clinical perspective on classification and diagnosis.
Focus on conditions in the differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

Main Results:

Consideration of frontotemporal dementia variants (semantic dementia, progressive nonfluent aphasia, frontal dementia).
Inclusion of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis associated dementia.
Discussion of corticobasal degeneration and dementia with Lewy bodies.

Conclusions:

Enhanced understanding of non-Alzheimer dementias is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
Clinical features of these conditions require careful evaluation.
This review provides a clinician-focused overview for differential diagnosis.
