   Sammanfattning : Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is an underdiagnosed neurocognitive disorder thatincludes several complex neurological and psychological signs, which are challenging toclinical diagnostics. The recognition of this neurocognitive disorder should beimproved because people with DLB exhibit a good treatment response to anti-dementiamedications but experience severe adverse events if treated with anti-psychoticmedicine.

7. 15. Multimodal and multiscale brain networks : understanding aging, Alzheimer’s disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders

   Författare :Anna Canal Garcia; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The human brain can be modeled as a complex network, often referred to as the connectome, where structural and functional connections govern its organization. Several neuroimaging studies have focused on understanding the architecture of healthy brain networks and have shed light on how these networks evolve with age and in the presence of neurodegenerative disorders.
