Default Dementia with Lewy-Bodies (DLB)

Dementia with Lewy-Bodies (DLB)

http://memory.ucsf.edu/Education/Disease/dlb.html

Quote:
Dementia with Lewy-Bodies sometimes occurs alone as the presenting illness and sometimes it occurs simultaneously with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease. Dementia with Lewy-Body is the second most frequent cause of dementia in elderly adults. It is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with abnormal structures (Lewy-Bodies) found in certain areas of the brain. Lewy-bodies are named after smooth round protein lumps, which are found in the nerve cells of affected brains. The Lewy-Bodies are found throughout the outer layer of the brain (the cerebral cortex) and deep inside the midbrain and brainstem.
