[S-08] Symposium 08 RBD as a harbinger of synucleinopathy: update

Wed. May 19, 2021 2:15 PM - 4:15 PM Room 05 (ICC Kyoto 2F Room B-1)

Chair:Miyamoto Tomoyuki(Department of neurology, Dokkyo Medical University Saitama Medical Center),Suzuki Keisuke(Department of Neurology, Dokkyo Medical University)

REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia, characterized by dream-enacting behavior during REM sleep and the polysomnographic findings of REM sleep without atonia. Increasing evidence suggests RBD is a specific prodromal marker for synucleinopathy. In this symposium, discussing updated information on RBD from clinical and basic aspects will provide signficant implication for future disease modifying therapy targeting syncleinopathy.
