While some studies have implicated Lewy bodies in the neocortex, others have pointed to \u03b1-synuclein pathology in the hippocampus. We systematically examined hippocampal Lewy pathology and its distribution in hippocampal subfields in 95 clinically and neuropathologically characterized human cases of DLB, finding that \u03b1-synuclein pathology was highest in two hippocampal-related subregions: the CA2 subfield and the entorhinal cortex (EC). While the EC had numerous classic somatic Lewy bodies, CA2 contained mainly Lewy neurites in presumed axon terminals, suggesting the involvement of the EC \u2192 CA2 circuitry in the pathogenesis of DLB symptoms. Clinicopathological correlations with measures of verbal and visual memory supported a role for EC Lewy pathology, but not CA2, in causing these memory deficits. Lewy pathology in CA1\u2014the main output region for CA2\u2014correlated best with results from memory testing despite a milder pathology. This result indicates that CA1 may be more functionally relevant than CA2 in the context of memory impairment in DLB. These correlations remained significant after controlling for several factors, including concurrent Alzheimer's pathology (neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles) and the interval between time of testing and time of death. Our data suggest that although hippocampal Lewy pathology in DLB is predominant in CA2 and EC, memory performance correlates most strongly with CA1 burden.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT<\/jats:bold>\n                    This study provides a detailed neuropathologic analysis of hippocampal Lewy pathology in human patients with autopsy-confirmed dementia with Lewy bodies. The approach\u2014informed by regional molecular markers, concurrent Alzheimer's pathology analysis, and relevant clinical data\u2014helps tease out the relative contribution of Lewy pathology to memory dysfunction in the disease. Levels of Lewy pathology were found to be highest in the hippocampal CA2 subregion and entorhinal cortex, implicating a potentially overlooked circuit in disease pathogenesis. However, correlation with memory performance was strongest with CA1. This unexpected finding suggests that Lewy pathology must reach a critical burden across hippocampal circuitry to contribute to memory dysfunction beyond that related to other factors, notably coexisting Alzheimer's disease tau pathology.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1523\/jneurosci.3047-16.2016","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,30]],"date-time":"2016-12-30T21:10:29Z","timestamp":1483132229000},"page":"1675-1684","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":120,"title":["Hippocampal \u03b1-Synuclein in Dementia with Lewy Bodies Contributes to Memory Impairment and Is Consistent with Spread of Pathology"],"prefix":"10.1523","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4769-9096","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David H.","family":"Adamowicz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Subhojit","family":"Roy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4533-4090","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David P.","family":"Salmon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Douglas R.","family":"Galasko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lawrence A.","family":"Hansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eliezer","family":"Masliah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0938-4106","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fred H.","family":"Gage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"393","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00702-015-1402-8"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"171","DOI":"10.1007\/s00702-013-1084-z","article-title":"A quantitative study of \u03b1-synuclein pathology in fifteen cases of dementia associated with Parkinson disease","volume":"121","author":"Armstrong","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Neural Transm"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cercor\/1.1.103"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"209","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/25.3.209","article-title":"Cognitive decline in patients with Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia and senile dementia of Lewy body type","volume":"205","author":"Ballard","year":"1996","journal-title":"Age Ageing"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1789.2010.01117.x"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.6","first-page":"141","article-title":"Limbic neuropathology in idiopathic Parkinson's disease with concomitant dementia","volume":"42","author":"Bertrand","year":"2004","journal-title":"Folia Neuropathol"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.2898-12.2013"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0197-4580(95)00021-6"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0197-4580(02)00065-9"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.70.2.157"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1101\/lm.025304.111"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuron.2010.04.013"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.49.6.1570"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.74.7.852"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archneur.55.7.994"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00401-014-1349-0"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.23263"},{"key":"2023041803234230000_37.7.1675.18","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Delis DC , Kramer JH , Kaplan E , Ober BA (1987) California Verbal Learning Test.
