Abstract excerpt
The reason for the occurrence of Lewy body disease (LBD) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients is unknown. If brains from etiologically different AD groups differ in their tendency to develop cortical Lewy bodies, the concurrence of LBD in AD patients may be a manifestation of the AD process in specific AD subsets. To address this issue, we counted cortical Lewy bodies in AD patients with genetic abnormalities on...
