🧬 About Lewy Body Dementia Research
Lewy body dementia represents the second most common form of neurodegenerative dementia, caused by abnormal protein deposits in brain cells. This progressive condition affects memory, movement, sleep patterns, and causes visual hallucinations, making accurate diagnosis challenging due to symptom overlap with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Current research focuses on developing reliable biomarkers to enable earlier detection and better treatment strategies for this complex neurological disorder.
