Published 4 years, 5 months ago
Description
A first-of-its-kind study from Cleveland Clinic showed that the presenting clinical phenotype of Alzheimer’s disease or Lewy body dementia — along with neuropathology and a patient’s age and sex — predicted the likelihood of subsequently developing specific behavioral and psychological symptoms. In this episode, Jagan Pillai, MD, PhD discusses these findings and what they mean for the future of dementia practice and research.
