This is really interesting - and seems to have been reported widely today. I've just been having a look at some of the longer articles elsewhere.

Anything which could lead to effective treatment is so overdue - maybe this new understanding might lead to help for this particular subset of dementia patients.

My husband has had four different labels attached to his Alzheimer's which led me to believe that no one really has a clue about what type of dementia he actually has. I think this just indicates that there is still lots that they don't know about any of this. Every time I read about other people's experiences of caring, I know my husband doesn't slot into anything else I see. It would be nice to be hopeful at least for others who are to follow in our footsteps so maybe it's a start.
