Dementia with Lewy bodies
Are Lewy bodies really the enemy in dementia with Lewy bodies?
Dr Daniel Erskine at the University of Newcastle will investigate how neurons are affected by Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).
Targeting a key protein in Dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson’s disease
Researcher, Prof Jody Mason at the University of Bath will investigate the build-up of a key protein in the development of dementia with Lewy bodies.
Examining the mechanisms underpinning visual hallucinations in dementia with Lewy bodies
Researchers at the University College London aim to understand the mechanisms underpinning visual hallucinations in both DLB and Parkinson’s disease.
Using data from brain donations to investigate the impact of multiple underlying causes of dementia
Use information from the Brains for Dementia Research Programme to find out which disease combinations lead to a more rapid decline of memory and thinking skills.
Using brain scans to investigate changes in the brain over time
Prof Nick Fox and Prof Jon Schott are studying brain scans to investigate changes in the brain over time in a longitudinal amyloid-PET/MRI study of the 1946 birth cohort.
A window into hallucinations in dementia with Lewy bodies
Researchers from the University of Cambridge are using computer models to study dementia with Lewy bodies
Looking into head injury and dementia
Research at Imperial College London is exploring the link between head injury and dementia
Are some nerve cells more susceptible than other to damage in dementia with Lewy bodies?
Researchers at Newcastle University are investigating why some nerve cells are more susceptible than others to damage in dementia with Lewy bodies.
Designing treatments that stop protein clumping
Researchers at the University of Groningen are working to design drugs to stop the clumping of toxic proteins in the diseases that cause dementia.
Using stem cells and specialised chambers to unravel dementia
Researchers at the University of Manchester are using sophisticated chambers to monitor how toxic proteins spread in dementia and the complex relationship between brain cells and their blood supply.
