Idiopathic REM sleep behaviour disorder and neurodegeneration — an updateIdiopathic REM sleep behaviour disorder and neurodegeneration — an update, Published online: 24 November 2017; doi:10.1038/nrneurol.2017.157Idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavioural disorder (RBD) is now recognized as an early marker of α-synucleinopathies. Here, Högl and colleagues review potential biomarkers for RBD and summarize the evidence for a prodromal stage, which might enable disease-modifying intervention. In light of these advances, they reconceptualize idiopathic RBD as isolated RBD.
