Fluctuating cognition is a core diagnostic feature of the Lewy body dementias, but it can be clinically challenging to identify and characterise and remains poorly understood. O’Dowd et al. review the clinical features and explore the possible aetiological mechanisms underpinning this phenomenon. They also identify potential future research avenues.
