  1. This study will provide insights into whether cognitive training and psychoeducation on a healthy, active lifestyle have short- and long-term (neuro-)protective effects for individuals with iRBD.

  2. Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder and Neurodegenerative Diseases: An Update

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Aging and disease 2020-03-09 Brain scans and imaging

    Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a sleep behavior disorder characterized by abnormal behaviors and loss of muscle atonia during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.

  3. 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).

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. The Clinical Phenotype of Idiopathic Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder at Presentation: A Study in 203 Consecutive Patients

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Sleep 2016-01-01 Brain scans and imaging

    We report the largest IRBD cohort observed in a single center to date and highlight frequent features that were not reported or not sufficiently emphasized in previous publications.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. Probable rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder increases risk for mild cognitive impairment and Parkinson disease: a population-based study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 69 out of 100. Annals of neurology 2012-01-01 Brain scans and imaging

    In this population-based cohort study, we observed that pRBD confers a 2.2-fold increased risk of developing MCI/PD over 4 years.

  11. Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder and subtypes in autopsy-confirmed dementia with Lewy bodies

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Movement disorders : official journal of the Movement Disorder Society 2011-10-28 Brain scans and imaging

    The purpose of this study was to determine whether dementia with Lewy bodies with and without probable rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder differ clinically or pathologically.

  12. 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.

  13. Olfactory deficit in idiopathic rapid eye movements sleep behavior disorder

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Brain research bulletin 2006-08-07 Brain scans and imaging

    The olfactory deficit found in most idiopathic RBD patients shares similarities with that described in PD and may be a sign of a widespread neurodegenerative process.

  14. 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.

  15. Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder preceding Parkinson's disease with therapeutic response to levodopa

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Movement disorders : official journal of the Movement Disorder Society 1996-03-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) involves complex behavior and a loss of muscle atonia occurring during REM sleep.
