The Mild Cognitive Impairment Stage of Dementia With Lewy Bodies and Parkinson Disease: A Comparison of Cognitive Profiles

These data suggest that differences in pathologic substrates between PDD and DLB may begin in the MCI stage of the 2 diseases and may lead to differences in cognitive profiles.
