Talk title: SLEEP PATTERN: A WINDOW FOR UNDERSTANDING NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASE
We normally do not move during the cyclic periods of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, typically associated with vivid dreams. In contrast, patients with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder experience physically acting out vivid, often unpleasant, dreams with vocal sounds and often manifest violent arm and leg movements.
More and more scientific pieces of evidence show that REM sleep behavior disorder may be a very early symptom of brain progressive neurodegenerative disorders belonging to severe motor and cognitive deficits such as Parkinson's and Lewy body diseases. Sapienza Neuroscience promoted an exciting discussion on this emerging topic of clinical brain research inviting Poul Jørgen Jennum.
