Обзор
This project will test the hypotheses that people with 5-HT RBD have systemic alpha- synuclein pathology, prodromal DLB signs, and brainstem lesions in regions that control REM sleep. AIM 1 will seek to detect abnormally phosphorylated alpha- synuclein aggregates on targeted skin biopsy in a cohort of people with 5-HT RBD and matched controls (taking SSRIs but without RBD). Aim 2 will use ultra-high field MRI at 7T to examine the pontine region of the coeruleus/subcoeruleus complex for evidence of neurodegeneration as well as segment and parcellate REM sleep related neuronal structures. Aim 3 will test for speech deficits. While these aims are independent we suspect that the severity of autonomic, speech and cognitive deficits will correlate with loss of neuromelanin signal on MRI and pathology on skin biopsy. The investigation is a longitudinal designed study to examine histopathology, neuroimaging changes and speech function from baseline (Time 1) to a follow-up after 30 months (Time 2). A total of 60 individuals, 30 with 5-HT RBD and 30 controls, will be recruited at Time 1, brought back at Time 2, and tested across all Aims at both study visits.

Критерии исключения
- Younger than 18
- Older than 75
- Meet criteria for Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, Multiple System Atrophy, Pure Autonomic Failure, Alzheimer's disease, other diagnosed neurodegenerative disorder, or other known cause of RBD (e.g. narcolepsy)
- Untreated obstructive sleep apnea, obesity hypoventilation, central sleep apnea or other sleep disordered breathing
- History of dysarthria, aphasia or other condition which could interfere with speech assessment
- Reduced capacity to consent
- MRI exclusion criteria for 7T scans: presence of any metallic clip(s) or implantable medical devices (e.g., heart valve, aneurysm clip, coils or surgery, renal or aortic clips, shunts, stents or stent grafts, metal mesh/coil implants, neurostimulator, insulin pump, IVC filter, etc.).
