TL;DR: In a prospective multicentre study involving 1280 patients with idiopathic RBD, Postuma et al. test the predictive power of 21 prodromal markers of neurodegeneration, providing a template for planning neuroprotective trials.

TL;DR: To assess whether risk factors for Parkinson disease and dementia with Lewy bodies increase rate of defined neurodegenerative disease in idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD), a large number of animals were sacrificed for research purposes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that RBD is widely associated with psychosis in Parkinson's disease, and independent clinical factors found to have an effect on psychotic disorders were cognitive impairment, disease duration, advanced age, and severity of motor symptoms.

TL;DR: RLS is significantly associated with MS, especially in patients with severe pyramidal and sensory disability, and these results strengthen the idea that the inflammatory damage correlated with MS may induce a secondary form of RLS.

TL;DR: The presence of dissociated sleep/wake states in confusional arousals is the expression not of a global phenomenon, but rather of the coexistence of different local states of being: arousal of the motor and cingulate cortices and inhibition of the associative ones.
