Identifying neuroimaging based biomarkers for predicting clinical progression along the Lewy Body disease spectrum [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Elie Matar (Principal investigator)

Brief description Lewy body dementias (LBD) comprise similar but heterogenous group of poorly understood disabling neurodegenerative conditions. This project aims to apply advanced neuroimaging techniques and novel psychological testing to patients at risk of Lewy body disorders as well individuals with established disease to identify novel biomarkers that may explain symptoms of these disorders as well as help predict development of LBD at its early stages when it may be amenable to neuroprotective treatments.
