Flashcards
Parkinson's Dementia
Parkinson's Dementia
A type of dementia where motor symptoms like tremors, rigidity, and slow movements are dominant. It's a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting the brain regions controlling movement.
Vascular Dementia
Vascular Dementia
A type of dementia caused by damage to brain tissue due to multiple mini-strokes or reduced blood flow. It often leads to sudden cognitive decline and memory problems.
Lewy Body Dementia
Lewy Body Dementia
Dementia characterized by fluctuating cognition, visual hallucinations, and motor problems similar to Parkinson's disease. It involves abnormal protein deposits called Lewy bodies in the brain.
