Lewy bodies are the inclusion bodies – abnormal aggregations of protein – that develop inside neurons affected by Parkinson's disease (PD), the Lewy body dementias (Parkinson's disease dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB)), and some other disorders.
Dementia with Lewy bodies; Other names: Diffuse Lewy body disease, dementia due to Lewy body disease: Microscopic image of a Lewy body (adjacent to arrowhead) in a neuron of the substantia nigra; scale bar=20 microns (0.02 mm)
A genetic architecture that predisposes an individual to some disease phenotypes is found in Parkinson's disease and the Lewy body dementias. The presence of Lewy bodies is a link between these disorders; the term 'diseases with Lewy bodies' therefore may be more accurate than 'Lewy body disease'. [16]

A brain tissue with Lewy bodies. The first major proposed cause of neuronal death in Parkinson's disease is the bundling, or oligomerization, of proteins.The protein alpha-synuclein has increased presence in the brains of Parkinson's Disease patients and, as α-synuclein is insoluble, it aggregates to form Lewy bodies (shown to left) in neurons.
A study from the National Library of Medicine found forms of dementia that affect mental health and behavior — such as Lewy body dementia — may cause paranoia in earlier stages.
