Lewy bodies

A patron came in asking for books on Lewy bodies. Turns out they have to do with dementia and Alzheimer's. She had done research, and the websites directed her to books on the subject. She cam into the library after dropping off her husband at a center (he is the one suffering from them).

A new one to me. This is one of the books I found through FirstSearch (also can be found through Worldcat.org).

Lewy bodies are abnormal aggregates of protein that develop inside nerve cells.
