Cultural Reference
- Kelsey Grammer's lead character, mayor of Chicago Tom Kane in the television series Boss, suffers from early-stage Lewy body dementia.
- In the Japanese anime series Ghost Hound, psychiatrist Atsushi Hirata emails an MRI scan image of a brain to colleague neurologist Reika Ōtori, who initially diagnoses the brain in the image as showing signs of Lewy body dementia. He shocks her by saying the brain in the image is his own brain, and recent apparitions and altered states of consciousness experienced by him may be related to the depicted condition of his brain.

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or reference:
“To begin to use cultural forces for the good of our daughters we must first shake ourselves awake from the cultural trance we all live in. This is no small matter, to untangle our true beliefs from what we have been taught to believe about who and what girls and women are.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“I am more and more convinced that, with reference to any public question, it is more important to know what the country thinks of it than what the city thinks. The city does not think much.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
