Merging in Lewy neurites[edit]

This section is to discuss whether Lewy neurites should be merged into this article--Robert Treat (talk) 05:52, 6 December 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Link request for The Lewy Body Society of the UK[edit]

I would like you to add a link to our site http://www.lewybody.co.uk (AKA www.leybody.org) which is the site of The Lewy Body Society of the UK.In the information section of our site we have a very good description of the effects of Lewy bodies. We have a nice video by Prof Ian McKeith into the science and medical conditions associated with Lewy bodies. We are linked in the main article on LBD and it seems reasonable to link us here since people researching 'Lewy Body', would benefit form our site. 81.156.254.26 (talk) 20:54, 16 December 2010 (UTC) J McGarry webmaster for the Lewy Body Society ([email protected]).[reply]

Non-Alzheimer's disease[edit]

The term non-Alzheimer's disease is bizarre. I'm not an expert, but perhaps "Non-Alzheimer's dementia" is what it was originally meant to be? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.27.115.146 (talk) 14:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"the contribution was not given to Lewy's finding"[edit]

What does this mean? Should it say "Lewy was not credited for his contribution"? Equinox ◑ 09:08, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Functions of alpha-synulcein in a healthy neuron other than nuclear functions[edit]

In the article, there is a whole section dedicated to the cell biology of alpha-synuclein. While the information is rather new and relevant to nuclear alpha-synuclein, it is also missing information about the speculated use for the protein in the cytoplasm. It has often been thought that alpha-synuclein plays some role in membrane fusion, and I do not think it should be excluded from this section. This is important to include in an entry about Lewy Bodies because it will help readers understand the significance of the protein's aggregation/ malfunction in vivo.AlveoliRavioli (talk) 19:45, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To add to article[edit]

Basic information to add to this article: what exactly causes Lewy bodies to form. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 22:09, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation[edit]

To add to this article: how "Lewy" is pronounced in this context. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 22:11, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
