Plaques and Tangles as well as Lewy-type Alpha Synucleinopathy Are Associated with Formed Visual Hallucinations

摘要

ObjectivePrevious research has linked complex or formed visual hallucinations (VH) to Lewy-type alpha-synucleinopathy (LTS) in neocortical and limbic areas. As Alzheimer’s disease pathology often co-occurs with LTS, we questioned whether this pathology - amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles - might also be linked to VH.
