Having Parkinson's disease can cause memory loss and cognitive problems. Sticky protein lumps called Lewy bodies can cause dementia in people with Parkinson's disease by interfering with the brain's regular activities. Another characteristic of other brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's, is Lewy bodies' presence. This article covers the types, signs, symptoms, and diagnosis of Lewy Body Parkinson's disease. And how they can lead to dementia are also discussed. What is Parkinson’s Disease? Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disorder of the nervous system that mainly kills cells in the substantia nigra area of the brain. In this area, nerve cells make...

There are two basic kinds: Dementia with Lewy bodies: Movement difficulties are a common symptom of Lewy body dementia. Within a year, you begin exhibiting behavioral...

When protein clumps known as Lewy bodies accumulate in the brain, the result is a kind of dementia known as Lewy body dementia (LBD). They disrupt the functioning of the brain areas responsible for learning, memory, emotion, and sleep. Since LBD is a progressive disorder, its symptoms get worsen over time. There is now no treatment that can reverse the disease, but you can manage it. What is Lewy Body Dementia? If Lewy bodies are found in your brain, you may suffer from Lewy body dementia (LBD).
