Although some of the answers are readily available, this is a difficult question:

I think the best answer lies in the Mayo Clinic, in an article about the similarities and differences between the two. This article will tell you that the DEP, Lewy bodies are in the deep structure of the brain found that for movement, while found in dementia with Lewy bodies in all the structures - deep, medium-sized parts and external structures of feelings, conduct trial and awareness:

I took notes, but I'm not writing a paper for your answer:

= Lewy body aggregates of abnormal proteins, degenerate into nerve cells. To develop Lewy bodies, the brain regions involved in perception and movement.

Dementia of Parkinson's disease (DMP), which at least 750,000 patients.Parkinson 's disease is dementia Dementia with Lewy bodies.

"Lewy bodies appear as spherical masses that displace other cell components. There are two morphological types: classical (brainstem) and cortical Lewy bodies Lewy bodies. The Lewy body is a classic eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions, consisting of a dense core, surrounded by a halo of 10 nm wide fibrils radio, the main structural component is alpha-synuclein. In contrast, cortical Lewy body is not well defined and has no aura. However, it is still of fibers of alpha-synuclein. "

Symptoms:
visual hallucinations, which may be one of the first signs of the disease. Hallucinations can vary from abstract shapes and colors in conversations with relatives

Visual hallucinations. To see the colors, shapes, animals or humans, an early symptom of dementia with Lewy bodies.

Movement Disorders. Parkinson-like symptoms in May include the slow movement, rigidity, tremor and slow gait.

Delusions. This includes the misconceptions can be about another person or situation.

CoNerve cells produce the line (in the nucleus basalis of Meynert and elsewhere), similar to Alzheimer's disease seen. Cerebral atrophy (or reduction) is also produced in the cerebral cortex degenerate. Autopsy series have shown that the pathology of this condition often coincides with the pathology of Alzheimer's disease. In other words, if the inclusion of Lewy bodies in the cortex, which is often associated with the pathology of Alzheimer's disease mainly found in the hippocampus, including: senile plaques (amyloid beta-protein) and degeneration granulovacuolar (granaries and deposited a clear zone around the nerve cells of the hippocampus). Fibrils (abnormally phosphorylated tau proteins) are less common in DLB "

Age. Most cases of dementia with Lewy bodies occur in adults over 60 years.
Sex. Dementia with Lewy bodies, which seems more common in men
Inheritance. If you have a relative with dementia with Lewy bodies, which may be a higher risk of disease,

It is not in my target area, so I'm afraid I may not have to be of benefit. But the reading - of course, raises questions about my side of the question and answer.

Best wishes - much reading and reflection.

PD is the loss of melanin in the substantia nigra. Lewy body dementia with Lewy bodies were found in the brain at autopsy.

Not sure of the clinic, maybe someone else can make this information available.
