Lack of research about dementia with Lewy bodies.

Dementia with Lewy bodies, which is characterised by clumps of protein that develop inside nerve cells in the brain, accounts for 10%-20% of dementia cases. Cognitive symptoms start with visuospatial and executive functions rather than with memory. Psychiatric and behavioural features, especially hallucinations, sleep disturbances and apathy, are common and often present early in the course of the disease.
