Dementia with Lewy bodies
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.
Looking to the future for dementia with Lewy bodies
While dementia with Lewy bodies can certainly have an enormous impact on people’s lives, unfortunately it is by no means rare.
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
Treating hearing loss in people at a high risk of dementia
Researchers at the University College London are developing a pilot trial to ensure people with hearing loss and mild cognitive dementia start and continue to use hearing aids. They will follow-up to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing the risk of dementia.
Can we get higher risk adults to eat well and exercise?
Researchers at the University of East Anglia are exploring the effects of exercise and Mediterranean style diet on dementia risk. This project is now complete and we are awaiting the results.
Building a tool to predict dementia risk
Researchers at the University of Manchester are developing a tool that could be used to identify people who would benefit from early preventative measures and develop personalised information to help individuals reduce their risk of dementia.
