REM Sleep Behavior Disorder in Parkinson’s Disease: Change in Cognitive, Psychiatric, and Functional Outcomes from Baseline to 16-47-Month Follow-Up
(1 CE Credit)
Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is common in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and is associated with cognitive impairment; however, the majority of the evidence on the impact of RBD on multidomain cognitive batteries in PD is cross-sectional. This study evaluated the longitudinal impact of probable RBD (pRBD) on cognitive, psychiatric, and functional outcomes in people with PD.

The Neuropsychology (Broadly Conceived) of MSA, PSP, and CBD
(1.5 CE Credits)
The primary objective of this presentation will be to review the cognitive and behavioral features of the different atypical parkinsonian syndromes in which motor symptoms dominate early clinical symptomatology: multiple systems atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and corticobasal degeneration (CBD).

What is Parkinson's Disease?
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder of the nervous system that impacts movement. It is the most common form of parkinsonism with the majority of Parkinson’s disease cases falling under the designation of “primary” parkinsonism, which suggests an idiopathic origin. No exact cause has been found, but it is believed that genetic mutations or exposure to certain toxins or other environmental factors may possibly be contributory.
