  1. REM Sleep Behavior Disorder: Diagnosis, Clinical Implications, and Future Directions

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Mayo Clinic proceedings 2017-11-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is diagnosed by a clinical history of dream enactment accompanied by polysomnographic rapid eye movement sleep atonia loss (rapid eye movement sleep without atonia).

  2. REM Sleep Behavior Disorder in Parkinson's Disease and Other Synucleinopathies

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Movement disorders : official journal of the Movement Disorder Society 2017-05-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder is characterized by dream enactment and complex motor behaviors during rapid eye movement sleep and rapid eye movement sleep atonia loss (rapid eye movement sleep without atonia) during polysomnography.

  3. Validation of the MDS research criteria for prodromal Parkinson's disease: Longitudinal assessment in a REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) cohort

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 66 out of 100. Movement disorders : official journal of the Movement Disorder Society 2017-04-21 Brain scans and imaging

    The prodromal criteria are a promising tool for predicting incidence of PD/dementia with Lewy bodies and conversion time in a rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder cohort, with high sensitivity and high specificity with long follow-up.

  4. REM sleep behavior disorder and neuropathology in Parkinson's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Movement disorders : official journal of the Movement Disorder Society 2015-08-12 Brain scans and imaging

    Although overlap occurs between groups, PD patients with probable RBD may have greater density and range of synuclein pathology on autopsy.

  5. Clinical significance of REM sleep behavior disorder in Parkinson's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Sleep medicine 2012-12-03 Brain scans and imaging

    Clinical RBD symptoms, but not subclinical RBD, were associated with the development of dementia in PD.

  6. Neuropathological analysis of brainstem cholinergic and catecholaminergic nuclei in relation to rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuropathology and applied neurobiology 2012-04-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Whether decreases in brainstem cholinergic neurones in LBD contribute to RBD is uncertain, but our findings indicate these neurones are highly vulnerable to α-synuclein pathology in LBD and tau pathology in AD.

  7. REM sleep behavior disorder and REM sleep without atonia as an early manifestation of degenerative neurological disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Current neurology and neuroscience reports 2012-04-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by repeated episodes of dream enactment behavior and REM sleep without atonia (RSWA) during polysomnography recording.

  8. Electroencephalographic slowing heralds mild cognitive impairment in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Sleep medicine 2010-05-11 Brain scans and imaging

    Our findings suggest that the presence of marked EEG slowing on spectral analysis might be indicative of the short-term development of MCI in patients initially diagnosed with IRBD.

  9. The neurobiological characteristics of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are candidate endophenotypes of depression, schizophrenia, mental retardation and dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Progress in neurobiology 2007-02-09 Brain scans and imaging

    Animal models are a promising method to approach the basic mechanisms of the neurobiological disturbances encountered in mental disorders.

  10. The effect of donepezil on sleep and REM sleep EEG in patients with Alzheimer disease: a double-blind placebo-controlled study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 72 out of 100. Sleep 2006-02-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Study objective Examine the effects of donepezil on sleep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) in patients with Alzheimer disease, using polysomnography, and the correlation between REM sleep EEG parameters and cognitive scores.

  11. REM sleep behavior disorder in sleep-disordered patients with versus without Parkinson's disease: is there a need for polysomnography?

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Journal of the neurological sciences 2001-05-01 Brain scans and imaging

    We reviewed the polysomnograms (PSGs) of 292 consecutive patients with sleep disorders (Parkinson's disease (PD), n=19, other sleep disorders, n=273) to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the clinical diagnosis of rapid eye movement behavior disorder (RBD) compared with polysomnographic diagnosis.
