  The REMIND study: REM-sleep In Neurodegenerative Disorders

  REM-sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is characterized by often violent enactments of dreams and is a highly specific marker for the future onset of an alpha-synucleinopathy, including Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies. It remains to be elucidated what characteristics define RBD and how the RBD-phenotype compares between PD and DLB.
• Research Methods

  Methods

  MRI experiments provide the researcher with an impossible amount of data. In order to distill meaningful information a progressive series of reduction methods are applied to filter out the desired parameters (and ignore others).

• Participate in research

  We investigate the ways in which we reach decisions, what happens when we are sleeping, or how the brain changes with aging. We are looking for people who are willing to undergo MRI sessions to help us in our research.
