Probable REM sleep behavior disorder and risk of stroke: A prospective study
Conclusions: Presence of pRBD was associated with a higher risk of developing stroke, including both ischemic and hemorrhagic types. Future studies with clinically confirmed RBD and a longer follow-up would be appropriate to further investigate this association.

Role of sleep-disordered breathing and sleep-wake disturbances for stroke and stroke recovery
Conclusions: SDB and SWD increase the risk of stroke in the general population and affect short- and long-term stroke recovery and outcome. Current knowledge supports the systematic implementation of clinical procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of poststroke SDB and SWD on stroke units.

Hypersomnia and Reduction in Essential Tremor after Bilateral Subthalamic Ischemic Stroke (P4.285)
Conclusions:Prevalence of hypersomnia among stroke patients ranges from 1.1 to 27[percnt].A reduction in the activity of arousal systems underlies most forms of post stroke hypersomnia.Multiple changes like reduction in the amount of NREM sleep, sleep time, sleep spindles, REM sleep ( in occipital strokes ) were also described depending on the location of the stroke. Thalamic and brainstem strokes can present with pathological EEG patterns like alpha coma.Along with bilateral thalamic strokes, strokes in thalamo-mesencephalic regions, upper pons and medial pontomedullary lesions can cause marked hypersomnia. Cortical and s...

Restless Limbs Syndrome (RLS) Presenting as Hemisyndrome: A Case of Dejerine-Roussy Syndrome Responsive to Dopamine Agonists (P5.266)
CONCLUSION: Recognition of RLS as a hemisyndrome may offer new treatments for patients with chronic dysesthetic pain, paresthesia, and insomnia as illustrated in this case of DRS. RLS affects 10% of the population and DRS is seen in 10% after thalamic stroke. Pain associated with RLS may be contributing to chronic, persistent pain in patients with certain CNS lesions and may be treatable with Dopamine Agonists.Disclosure: Dr. Dickoff has received personal compensation for activities with UCB Pharma and Teva pharmaceuticals as a speaker.

Anterior nucleus of the thalamus: Functional organization and clinical implications
The anterior nucleus of thalamus (ANT) is a key component of the hippocampal system for episodic memory. The ANT consist of 3 subnuclei with distinct connectivity with the subicular cortex, retrosplenial cortex, and mammillary bodies. Via its connections with the anterior cingulate and orbitomedial prefrontal cortex, the ANT may also contribute to reciprocal hippocampal-prefrontal interactions involved in emotional and executive functions. As in other thalamic nuclei, neurons of the ANT have 2 different state-dependent patterns of discharge, tonic and burst-firing; some ANT neurons also contribute to propagation of the the...
