“…In a recent review, Popescu and Lippa [33] argue that although PSP, PDD, and DLB all show cognitive changes attributed to a subcortical dementia profile (ie, bradyphrenia, deficits in attention, executive functions, and impaired memory retrieval), differences in the course and nature of cognitive deficits may be useful in distinguishing between these disorders. For example, patients with PSP show deficits, even very early in the disease, that look similar to patients with frontal lobe damage, including utilization behavior, frontal release signs, more severe executive dysfunction, and deficits in behavioral control.…”

“…By definition, PDD and PD are distinguished on the basis of severity of cognitive impairment. It may also be possible to distinguish them based on the presence of cortical pathology and related behavioral and cognitive features in PDD [33], such as hallucinations, impaired visuospatial abilities, constructional apraxia [29], and aphasia [34].…”

We present an update focusing on research from the past 2 years on cognitive impairment and dementia in basal ganglia disorders, including Huntington's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's disease dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies. In addition to the many recent papers that aim to refine descriptions of the cognitive phenotypes in the basal ganglia disorders, the current literature addresses the use of cognitive assessment in differential diagnosis of clinically overlapping disorders, the effects of surgical and pharmacologic treatments on cognitive functions, and the relationship between cognitive impairment and functional disability. We also discuss opportunities for enhancing the understanding of cognition in basal ganglia disorders through the use of improved study design and assessment strategies.

“…Esse espectro abrange doenças neurodegenerativas que partilham o desequilíbrio e a acumulação anormal da proteína sináptica alfa-sinucleína (Spillantini, et al, 1997). As manifestações clínicas da Doença com Corpos de Lewy incluem a DCL, a Doença de Parkinson (DP) e falhas no Sistema Nervoso Autónomo que, em todos os casos referidos, incluem a formação de corpos de Lewy ou de neuritos de Lewy (Emre, 2003;Popescu & Lippa, 2004). …”

Revisão para psicólogos da segunda causa mais comum de demência neurodegenerativa em idosos

Formas perniciosas de declínio cognitivo são causadas por uma variedade de condições neuropatológicas. Entre as causas das condições de declínio cognitivo pernicioso está a Demência de Corpos de Lewy (DCL). Apesar de representar a segunda causa mais comum de demência neurodegenerativa em idosos, é ainda pouco conhecida pelos psicólogos. Os psicólogos podem contribuir de forma significativa no processo de avaliação cognitiva e de diagnóstico diferencial entre essa condição neurodegenerativa e condições neuropsiquiátricas. O conhecimento da DCL é, portanto, extremamente importante e pode significar uma diminuição na taxa de mortalidade.Palavras-chave: demência de corpos de Lewy, declínio cognitivo, avaliação cognitiva Abbreviated review for psychologists of the second most common cause of neurodegenerative disease in elderly peopleMalignant forms of cognitive decline are caused by a variety of neuropathological conditions. Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is among such conditions. Even though such a condition represents the second most frequent cause of neurodegenerative dementia in elderly people, it is still very little known by psychologists. Psychologists can play a very important role in the process of cognitive evaluation and differential diagnosis between this neurodegenerative condition and neuropsychiatric conditions. Knowledge of DLB is thus extremely important and it may mean a decrease in fatality rate.
