Impact of Alzheimer's co-pathology on basal forebrain atrophy and cognitive decline in Dementia with Lewy Bodies

Key Points

• Cognitive decline is associated with significant basal forebrain atrophy related to Alzheimer's co-pathology.
• Participants with dementia with Lewy bodies showed a 30% increase in cognitive decline in patients with Alzheimer's co-pathology.
• Observational analysis of patients diagnosed with dementia with Lewy bodies assessed cognitive performance and brain imaging.
• Findings highlight the need for further exploration of Alzheimer's effects on dementia with Lewy bodies, emphasizing recovery pathways.
