摘要: Abstract Visual hallucinations (VH) are a core clinical feature of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), but their specific neural substrate remains elusive. We used 18F-FDG-PET to study the dysfunctional signature VH in group 38 DLB patients (mean age±SD 72.9 ± 7.5) available anamnestic records, cognitive and neurological examination NeuroPsychiatric Inventory assessing VH. tested voxel-wise correlation between hypometabolism NPI scores at whole-group level, then adopting inter-regional analysis explore resting-state networks (RSNs) metabolic connectivity without visual hallucinations, as compared N = 38 age-matched healthy controls (HCs) 71.5 ± 6.9). At we found negative right occipito-temporal cortex (p
