LB disease signs, symptoms, diagnostics, and disease pathobiology. Disease signs and symptoms: Motor and non-motor symptoms are both included as operative processes leading to significant disability. Motor symptoms include bradykinesia, tremors, rigidity, and postural instability. The non-motor sings include, but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, hyposmia, and constipation. Neuroimaging methods: Tomographic acquisitions for neurodegenerative diseases include positron emission tomography (PET) scanning using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) and 11C-IMA107 for DLB [31] and PD [32]. Pathology: The pathologies of synucleinopathies such as PD [33] and DLB [34] show depigmentation in the midbrain substantia nigra, Lewy neurites, and Lewy bodies (black arrows).
