abstract = {Study ObjectivesRapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder
(RBD) is considered a prodromal state of Parkinson’s
disease (PD). We aimed to characterize patterns of
structural brain changes in RBD and PD patients using
multimodal MRI.MethodsA total of 30 patients with isolated
RBD, 29 patients with PD, and 56 age-matched healthy
controls (HC) underwent MRI at 3T, including tensor-based
morphometry, diffusion tensor imaging, and assessment of
cortical thickness.ResultsRBD individuals showed increased
volume of the right caudate nucleus compared with HC, and
higher cerebellar volume compared with both PD subjects and
HC. Similar to PD subjects, RBD patients displayed increased
fractional anisotropy (FA) in the corticospinal tracts,
several tracts mainly related to non-motor function, and
reduced FA of the corpus callosum compared with HC. Further,
RBD subjects showed higher FA in the cerebellar peduncles
and brainstem compared with both, PD patients and HC. PD
individuals exhibited lower than normal volume in the basal
ganglia, midbrain, pedunculopontine nuclei, and cerebellum.
In contrast, volume in PD subjects was increased in the
thalamus compared with both HC and RBD
subjects.ConclusionsWe found convergent patterns of
structural brain alterations in RBD and PD patients compared
with HC. The changes observed suggest a co-occurrence of
neurodegeneration and compensatory mechanisms that fail with
emerging PD pathology. Our findings strengthen the
hypothesis of RBD and PD constituting a continuous disease
spectrum.},
