Pathophysiology of REM sleep behaviour disorder and relevance to neurodegenerative disease.
TLDR
The data suggest that many patients with 'idiopathic' RBD are actually exhibiting an early clinical manifestation of an evolving neurodegenerative disorder, and may be appropriate for future drug therapies that affect synuclein pathophysiology, in which the development of parkinsonism and/or dementia could be delayed or prevented.

TLDR
RBD can be the heralding manifestation of Parkinson's disease in a substantial subgroup of older male RBD patients, and the pedunculopontine nucleus is implicate as a likely site of pathology in combined RBD-Parkinson's disease, based on experimental and theoretical considerations rather than on autopsy data.

Insights from studying human sleep disorders
TLDR
Contrary to common assumptions, wakefulness, rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep are not mutually exclusive states, and this striking realization explains a fascinating range of clinical phenomena.

POLYSOMNOGRAPHIC, NEUROLOGIC, PSYCHIATRIC, AND CLINICAL OUTCOME REPORT ON 70 CONSECUTIVE CASES WITH REM SLEEP BEHAVIOR DISORDER (RBD) : SUSTAINED CLON AZEPAM EFFICAY IN 89.5% OF 57 TREATED PATIENTS
TLDR
A series of RBD cases reported herein was gathered in a setting with an extensive referral base and came to the regional sleep disorders center for evaluation of frequently injurious and poten-tially life-threatening conditions requiring specialized diagnostic tests as well as a search for safe and effective treatment.
