The morphological differentiation of Parkinson disease with dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a matter of discussion. The objective of this study was to investigate the regional distribution of beta-amyloid (Abeta) plaques, alpha-synuclein (AS), and pathology in both disorders...
"These results are very encouraging for people with Parkinson's and their families that they can take advantage of the benefits of deep brain stimulation without worrying about it increasing the likelihood of developing dementia," said study author Elena Moro, MD, of Grenoble Alpes University in G...
The pathophysiological mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction and dementia in Parkinson's disease (PD) are still poorly understood. Altered resting state oscillatory brain activity may reflect underlying neuropathological changes. The present study using magneto encephalography (MEG) was set up to study ...
