Lewy body dementia occurs when Lewy bodies accumulate and affect chemicals in the brain that lead to problems with thinking, movement, behavior and mood. Dementia is a severe loss of these abilities, especially thinking, and is one of the most common causes of dementia after Alzheimer's disease and vascular disease.
What causes LBD? LBD is a result of protein deposits known as Lewy Bodies, sometimes called plaques, in the nerve cells of the brain. There are also plaques in the cells of patients with Alzheimerâs, but LBD patients do not have tangles in the nerve cells like Alzheimerâs patients do.
