Perspectives onMechanisms of
REMSleepBehavior Disorder
3:15pm –5:15pm
RoomL100F
Chair:
JohnPeever, PhD
Faculty:
IsabelleArnulf, MD; MarkBlumberg, PhD; and
CarlosSchenck, MD
Psychologist Level of Content:
Intermediate
Objectives:
1. Identify diseasemechanisms inREM sleep behavior
disorder (RBD);
2. Analyze the link betweenRBD and degenerative
disorders;
3. RecognizehowRBDmay be used to develop
neuroprotective treatment for degenerative diseases;
4. Discuss basic brainmechanisms controllingREM
sleep; and
5. Reviewhowmalfunction of REM sleep circuitry
contributes toRBD.
