Really enjoyed this format - hope it is the first of many. Great to share our clinical experiences and develop our understanding of #LBD phenotype. Masterfully chaired by @fedrodriguezp and great presentations from Dr @AntoinetteOCon & Drs O'Dowd, Leverenz and Patel. 🇦🇷🇺🇸🇮🇪
On behalf of @LBDPIA I'm very excited to share an invite to our upcoming "Clinical Case Reports" webinar on May 13th. Hosted by our own @fedrodriguezp, it will discuss how our evolving understanding of LBD can influence both your clinical practice & research.
