Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorders (RBD)
are symptoms of nocturnal violence that occur in
isolation in patients with idiopathic RBD (iRBD) and are
considered a premotor sign of parkinsonism. We show
reduced signal intensity in the locus
coeruleus/subcoeruleus complex (LCSC) using
neuromelanin-sensitive MRI in iRBD that correlated with
the percentage of atonia during REM sleep. These results
suggest that the LCSC complex is involved in the
pathophysiology of iRBD.
