Visual Hallucinations in Lewy Body Diseases

24 septembre 2026 mis à jour par: NYU Langone Health

Understanding Neural Mechanisms Underlying Visual Hallucinations in Lewy Body Diseases

The goal of this basic experimental study involving humans (BESH) protocol is to improve the understanding of neural mechanisms underlying visual hallucinations in Lewy Body diseases to inform future treatment developments.

Description détaillée

Visual hallucinations are highly prevalent in Lewy Body Diseases (LBD), a prominent group of neurodegenerative disorders that includes Dementia with Lewy Bodies, Parkinson's disease, and Parkinson's disease dementia. Currently, scientists do not fully understand how the brain creates these false visual images. This lack of knowledge makes it difficult to develop effective treatments.

This study aims to understand the neural mechanisms that give rise to these hallucinatory experiences. The study will include three groups of volunteers:

  1. LBD patients who experience visual hallucinations
  2. LBD patients who do not have visual hallucinations
  3. age-matched volunteers without a significant neurological history

During the study, participants will undergo safe, non-invasive brain imaging scans. While being scanned, they will either rest or complete visual computer tasks.

The results of this study will help map the brain networks responsible for visual hallucinations. These insights will help researchers develop better, targeted interventions for this disabling symptom.
