In a webinar hosted last month by the Lewy Body Dementia Association (LBDA), three experts gathered to discuss various aspects of Lewy body dementia (LBD) and frontotemporal degeneration (FTD).  LBD is also called Parkinson’s disease dementia.  And frontotemporal degeneration includes two atypical parkinsonism disorders — progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration. 

In early October, the Davis Phinney Foundation hosted a virtual conference.  Greg Pontone, MD, MHS, with Johns Hopkins Parkinson’s Disease Neuropsychiatry Clinic, spoke about cognition, mood, and the management of cognitive and mood changes in PD.  We at Stanford Parkinson’s Community Outreach listened to the talk, and are sharing our notes.
