We're back with Part Two of our special highlights podcasts from the International Lewy Body Dementia Conference in Amsterdam! This time, host Dr Sterre de Boer (Alzheimer’s Centre Amsterdam) leads the discussion with a fantastic panel of experts:

🔹 Salomón Salazar-Londoño (Medical Student, Xavierian University, Colombia & ISTAART Ambassador)
🔹 Dr Lauren Walker (Alzheimer’s Research UK Fellow, Newcastle University)
🔹 Dr Felipe Botero Rodriguez (Psychiatrist & Researcher, Stavanger University Hospital, Norway)

In this episode, we explore some of the latest breakthroughs and pressing challenges in Lewy body dementia research, including:

✅ The state of DLB research in Latin America, highlighting gaps and opportunities
✅ Neuropathology & biomarker advances – What can pathology teach us about clinical symptoms?
✅ The "Body-First vs. Brain-First" debate – What comes first, and how does it impact diagnosis?
✅ The role of co-pathologies like Alzheimer’s disease and TDP-43 in DLB
✅ How international collaboration is shaping the future of dementia research

This episode offers insights for researchers, clinicians, and anyone interested in the evolving landscape of Lewy body dementia. If you missed Part One, make sure to catch up before diving into this instalment!
