Functional and structural brain network correlates of visual hallucinations in Lewy body dementia Open
Visual hallucinations are a common feature of Lewy body dementia. Previous studies have shown that visual hallucinations are highly specific in differentiating Lewy body dementia from Alzheimer’s disease dementia and Alzheimer–Lewy body mi…

The feasibility and acceptability of a psychosocial intervention to support people with dementia with Lewy bodies and family care partners Open
Objectives Psychosocial support for people with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and family care partners is frequently lacking, despite the need expressed by those with lived experience. Our objective was to examine the feasibility and acc…

Exploring Bottom-Up Visual Processing and Visual Hallucinations in Parkinson's Disease With Dementia Open
Visual hallucinations (VH) are a common symptom of Parkinson's disease with dementia (PDD), affecting up to 65% of cases. Integrative models of their etiology posit that a decline in executive control of the visuo-perceptual system is a pr…

The visual ventral network is disconnected in Lewy body dementia with visual hallucinations Open
Background Visual hallucinations (VH) are a common symptom in Lewy body dementias (LBD), which comprise dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD). Previous studies investigated functional brain network alterati…

Weighted network measures reveal differences between dementia types: An EEG study Open
The diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) versus Alzheimer's disease (AD) can be difficult especially early in the disease process. However, one inexpensive and non‐invasive biomarker which could help is electroencephalography (EEG)…

Structural Brain Correlates of Attention Dysfunction in Lewy Body Dementias and Alzheimer’s Disease Open
Lewy body dementia (LBD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are common forms of dementia that have different clinical profiles but are both commonly associated with attentional deficits. The aim of this study was to investigate efficiency of dif…

Reduced occipital GABA in Parkinson disease with visual hallucinations Open
The data suggest that reduced levels of GABA are associated with visual hallucinations in PD and implicate changes to the ventral visual stream in the genesis of visual hallucinations. Modulation of visual cortical excitability through, fo…

Evidence of compensation in the brain networks of Lewy body dementia and Alzheimer’s disease patients Open
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) require differential management despite presenting with symptomatic overlap. A human electrophysiological difference is a decrease of dominant frequency (DF) −the highest power f…
