Abstract
BACKGROUND: We investigated the structural changes associated with Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson disease dementia by means of cortical thickness analysis. METHODS: Two hundred and forty-five participants: 76 Alzheimer's disease, 65 dementia with Lewy bodies, 29 Parkinson disease dementia and 76 cognitively normal controls underwent 3-T T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and clinical and cognitive assessments. We implemented FreeSurfer to obtain cortical thickness estimates to contrast patterns of cortical thinning across groups and their clinical correlates. RESULTS: In Alzheimer's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, a largely similar pattern of regional..
