N2 - We read with interest the commentary by Genon and Salmon (2018) on our study of the self-reference effect on memory in Alzheimer's disease and behavioural-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) (Wong et al., 2017). Our findings indicate that, although the benefit of self-referential processing on memory retrieval is comparably reduced across both patient groups, these deficits reflect divergent patterns of atrophy in cortical midline structures (CMS).
