Dementia in Parkinson's Disease Correlates with α-Synuclein Pathology but Not with Cortical Astrogliosis

Parkinson's Disease, 2012
Dementia is a common feature in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and is considered to be the result of limbic and cortical Lewy bodies and/or Alzheimer changes.

α-Synuclein pathology in post-mortem retina and optic nerve is specific for α-synucleinopathies

npj Parkinson's Disease, 2023
There is increasing interest in studying retinal biomarkers for various neurodegenerative diseases. Specific protein aggregates associated with neurodegenerative diseases are present in the retina and could be visualised in a non-invasive way. This study

cAMP-Inhibits Cytoplasmic Phospholipase A(2) and Protects Neurons against Amyloid-beta-Induced Synapse Damage [PDF]

, 2015
A key event in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the production of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides and the loss of synapses. In cultured neurons Aβ triggered synapse damage as measured by the loss of synaptic proteins. α-synuclein (αSN), aggregates of which accumulate

An Investigation of Hyperostosis Frontalis Interna in a Modern Anatomical Body Donor Population

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research sought to examine the prevalence and severity of hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) in the Chicagoland anatomical body donor population. The study further aimed to elucidate potential demographic risk factors for HFI, including sex, age at death, and structural vulnerability index (SVI), as well as any common comorbidities, as ...

Mitochondria and the Actin Cytoskeleton in Neurodegeneration

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial dysfunction and cytoskeletal disorganization are widely recognized hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

An iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis reveals dysregulation of neocortical synaptopodin in Lewy body dementias

Molecular Brain, 2017
Lewy body dementias are the second most common cause of neurodegenerative dementia in the elderly after Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The two clinical subgroups of Lewy body dementias, namely, dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson’s disease dementia (

Efficacy of omega‐3 fatty acids as a functional food: a multifaceted approach to health reinforcement

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Omega‐3 fatty acids (omega‐3s) are polyunsaturated fatty acids linked with numerous health benefits. Omega‐3s exhibit multifaceted activities through various mechanisms. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) alleviates oxidative stress by lowering reactive oxygen species and improving oxidative stress in brain tissues and acts against neurodegenerative ...

Serious Illness Conversation in the Care of Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders: A Practical Guide for Neurology Clinicians

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Compared to Parkinson's disease, atypical parkinsonian disorders (APD) are characterized by a more rapidly progressive course, often leading to profound disability. Effective communication between clinicians, patients, and care partners is essential to support patient‐centered care and shared decision‐making.

Case Report: Lewy body dementia with unusual psychotic symptoms, atypically late parkinsonism, and patient sensitivity to first generation antipsychotics

Frontiers in Psychiatry
Lewy body dementia is associated with abnormal eosinophilic A-synuclein neural inclusions (Lewy bodies) in the brain. It is a neurodegenerative illness—and the second most common type of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease—that causes memory loss and ...
