Research progress on the pathogenesis of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder and neurodegenerative diseases

Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a sleep disorder characterized by the disappearance of muscle relaxation and enacting one's dreams during rapid eye movement (REM), with most of the dreams being violent or aggressive. Prevalence of RBD, based on population, is 0.38%-2.01%, bu...
