Relative Incidence of Seizures and Myoclonus in Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia with Lewy Bodies, and Frontotemporal Dementia

Abstract

Seizures and myoclonus occur with greater incidence in patients with AD, DLB, and FTD than in the general population, but rates vary with diagnosis, suggesting varied pathomechanisms of network hyperexcitability. Patients often experience these symptoms early in disease, suggesting hyperexcitability could be an important target for interventions.
