The Cleveland Clinic is leading a national effort to better understand and develop new ways to diagnose a poorly known disease that affects an estimated 1.4 million Americans. The National Institutes of Health awarded a $6 million grant to the clinic to create the national consortium, which will focus on Dementia with Lewy Bodies.
Dr. James Leverenz is the director of the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Brain Health Center and will lead the efforts. He joined ideas to explain how the consortium will work.
