Research in to DLB is incredibly important. I am glad to see @AlzResearchUK raising awareness about this very common type of dementia. I hope we can work on a new study in this area soon @KCL_OAP
Dementia with Lewy bodies is the 3rd most common cause of dementia. It’s caused by small round clumps of protein building up inside nerve cells. It can cause sleeping disturbances and visual hallucinations, as well as memory problems.
