Abstract
INTRODUCTION Parkinson's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative multisystemic disorder that affects approximately 2% of the population over 65 years old. This disorder is characterized by motor symptoms which are frequently accompanied by non-motor symptoms such as cognitive disorders. Current drug therapies aim to reduce the symptoms and increase the patient's life expectancy. Nevertheless, there is heterogeneity in therapy response in terms of efficacy and adverse effects. This wide range in response may be linked to genetic variability. Thus, it has been suggested that pharmacogenomics may help to tailor and personalize drug therapy for Parkinson's disease. AREAS COVERED This review describes and updates the clinical impact of genetic factors associated with the efficacy and adverse drug reactions related to common medications used to treat Parkinson's disease. Additionally, we highlight current informative recommendations for the drug treatment of Parkinson's disease. EXPERT OPINION The pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and safety profiles of Parkinson's disease drugs do not favor the development of pharmacogenetic tests with a high probability of success. The chances of obtaining ground-breaking pharmacogenetics biomarkers for Parkinson's disease therapy are limited. Nevertheless, additional information on the metabolism of certain drugs, and an analysis of the potential of pharmacogenetics in novel drugs could be of interest.

Abstract
REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is closely associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), however, the influence of dopaminergic replacement therapy (DRT) on the clinical course of RBD in PD remains less understood. The objective of our study is to investigate how DRTs modify the evolution of RBD in a longitudinal cohort study of initially de novo PD patients. Four hundred and five drug-naive patients with early-stage PD were included. RBD symptoms were assessed using the 10-item RBD Screening Questionnaire (RBDSQ) at baseline and during the 5-year follow-up. A generalized estimating equation was used to examine predictors of the evolution of RBD symptoms. For patients without baseline pRBD, patients on levodopa treatment showed a greater increase in RBDSQ scores than those not on levodopa treatment, and the increase in RBDSQ scores was significantly correlated with the levodopa-LEDD. Moreover, the changes in RBDSQ scores at a given post-baseline visit were significantly associated with the use of levodopa (OR = 1.875, p = 0.008) and the combined use of levodopa and DA (OR = 2.188, p = 0.012), as well as the levodopa-LEDD (OR = 1.001, p = 0.005) at that visit. The use of DA alone or the DA-LEDD was not a significant predictor of changes in RBDSQ scores. Similarly, a conversion from pRBD negative to pRBD positive was significantly associated with levodopa-LEDD (OR = 1.001, p = 0.014) but not DA-LEDD. Together, these finding implicated that the use of levodopa may act as a contributing factor to the increasing prevalence of RBD after the onset of PD, suggesting different mechanisms underlying prodromal RBD and late-onset RBD.

Abstract
Braak's hypothesis has been extremely influential over the last two decades. However, neuropathological and clinical evidence suggest that the model does not conform to all patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). To resolve this controversy, a new model was recently proposed; in brain-first PD, the initial α-synuclein pathology arise inside the central nervous system, likely rostral to the substantia nigra pars compacta, and spread via interconnected structures - eventually affecting the autonomic nervous system; in body-first PD, the initial pathological α-synuclein originates in the enteric nervous system with subsequent caudo-rostral propagation to the autonomic and central nervous system. By using REM-sleep behavior disorder (RBD) as a clinical identifier to distinguish between body-first PD (RBD-positive at motor symptom onset) and brain-first PD (RBD-negative at motor symptom onset), we explored the literature to evaluate clinical and imaging differences between these proposed subtypes. Body-first PD patients display: 1) a larger burden of autonomic symptoms - in particular orthostatic hypotension and constipation, 2) more frequent pathological α-synuclein in peripheral tissues, 3) more brainstem and autonomic nervous system involvement in imaging studies, 4) more symmetric striatal dopaminergic loss and motor symptoms, and 5) slightly more olfactory dysfunction. In contrast, only minor cortical metabolic alterations emerge before motor symptoms in body-first. Brain-first PD is characterized by the opposite clinical and imaging patterns. Patients with pathological LRRK2 genetic variants mostly resemble a brain-first PD profile whereas patients with GBA variants typically conform to a body-first profile. SNCA-variant carriers are equally distributed between both subtypes. Overall, the literature indicates that body-first and brain-first PD might be two distinguishable entities on some clinical and imaging markers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND REM-sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia and a common comorbidity in Parkinson's disease (PD). There is evidence that the presence of RBD is associated with more severe PD. The differences in the clinical manifestations and the natural history are likely to imply underlying differences in the pathophysiology among PD patients with and without RBD. The increasing number of neuroimaging studies support this notion. OBJECTIVE Our primary objective was to review the current evidence regarding the brain neuroimaging findings in PD patients with RBD (PDRBD). METHODS A systematic review of articles, published in PubMed between January 1, 2000 and September 23, 2020 was performed. We evaluate previous studies that assessed PD patients with RBD using various brain structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques and brain nuclear medicine imaging. RESULTS Twenty-nine studies, involving a total of 3,347 PD subjects among which 912 subjects with PDRBD, met the selection criteria and were included. The presence of RBD in PD patients is associated with structural and functional alterations in several brain regions, mainly in brainstem, limbic structures, frontotemporal cortex, and basal ganglia, raising the hypothesis of a PDRBD neuroimaging phenotype. CONCLUSION The current review provides up-to-date knowledge in this field and summarizes the neurobiological/neuroimaging substrate of RBD in PD.

Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2021; 95:47-53. [PMID: 35030449 DOI: 10.1016/j.parkreldis.2021.11.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2021] [Revised: 11/25/2021] [Accepted: 11/29/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE With a dual-tracer PET study design, this study aimed to identify the differences between PD patients with and without probable RBD (PD+RBD+/PD+RBD-) and the influence of timing of RBD onset [probable RBD anterior to PD onset (PD+RBDa)/probable RBD posterior to PD onset (PD+RBDp)]. METHODS Seventy-four PD+RBD+ patients, sixty-three PD+RBD-patients and twenty healthy controls were enrolled. Clinical variates, striatal DAT tracer uptake, voxel-wise glucose metabolism and Parkinson's disease-related pattern (PDRP) expressions were compared among groups. RESULTS No significant difference were found on clinical characteristics between PD+RBD+ and PD+RBD-groups. Compared with PD+RBD-group, PD+RBD+ group had more severe dopaminergic dysfunction (p<0.05) except for posterior putamen in the more affected hemisphere (MAH) (p = 0.350). Meanwhile, it showed relative hypermetabolism in anterior putamen in the less affected hemisphere (LAH), bilateral anterior pallidum with wider involvement in the LAH, hippocampus and para-hippocampus in the LAH and bilateral olfactory gyrus, together with relative hypometabolism in limited bilateral posterio-parietal area (p<0.001). Significantly elevated PDRP expression was also seen in PD+RBD+ group (p < 0.01). For the timing of RBD onset, PD+RBDa patients harbored greater progression rate than PD+RBDp patients (p<0.01), greater DAT declining rates of striatal subregions and greater increasing rate of PDRP expressions than both PD+RBDp and PD+RBD-patients (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Our study found that PD patients with probable RBD have worse striatal dopaminergic dysfunction and higher PDRP network activity, supporting the assumption that PD with RBD may be a specific phenotype of PD. Additionally, RBD preceding PD onset may indicate a steeper disease decline.

VMAT2 availability in Parkinson's disease with probable REM sleep behaviour disorder. Mol Brain 2021; 14:165.

Abstract
REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) can be an early non-motor symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD) with pathology involving mainly the pontine nuclei. Beyond the brainstem, it is unclear if RBD patients comorbid with PD have more affected striatal dopamine denervation compared to PD patients unaffected by RBD (PD-RBD−). To elucidate this, we evaluated the availability of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), an index of nigrostriatal dopamine innervation, in 15 PD patients with probable RBD (PD-RBD+), 15 PD-RBD−, and 15 age-matched healthy controls (HC) using [11C]DTBZ PET imaging. This technique measured VMAT2 availability within striatal regions of interest (ROI). A mixed effect model was used to compare the radioligand binding of VMAT2 between the three groups for each striatal ROI, while co-varying for sex, cognitive function and depression scores. Multiple regressions were also computed to predict clinical measures from group condition and VMAT2 binding within all ROIs explored. We observed a significant main effect of group condition on VMAT2 availability within the caudate, putamen, ventral striatum, globus pallidus, substantia nigra, and subthalamus. Specifically, our results revealed that PD-RBD+ had lower VMAT2 availability compared to HC in all these regions except for the subthalamus and substantia nigra, while PD-RBD− was significantly lower than HC in all these regions. PD-RBD− showed a negative relationship between motor severity and VMAT2 availability within the left caudate. Our findings reflect that both PD patient subgroups had similar denervation within the nigrostriatal pathway. There were no significant interactions detected between radioligand binding and clinical scores in PD-RBD+. Taken together, VMAT2 and striatal dopamine denervation in general may not be a significant contributor to the pathophysiology of RBD in PD patients. Future studies are encouraged to explore other underlying neural chemistry mechanisms contributing to RBD in PD patients.

Abstract
Sleep and circadian rhythm disturbances are central features of many movement disorders, exacerbating motor and non-motor symptoms and impairing quality of life. Understanding these disturbances to sleep is clinically important and may further our understanding of the underlying movement disorder. This review evaluates the current anatomical and neurochemical understanding of normal sleep and the recognised primary sleep disorders. In addition, we undertook a systematic review of the evidence for disruption to sleep across multiple movement disorders. Rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder has emerged as the most reliable prodromal biomarker for the alpha synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy, often preceding motor symptom onset by several years. Abnormal sleep has also been described for many other movement disorders, but further evidence is needed to determine whether this is a primary or secondary phenotypic component of the underlying condition. Medication used in the treatment of motor symptoms also affects sleep and can aggravate or cause certain sleep disorders. Within the context of movement disorders, there is also some suggestion of a shared underlying mechanism for motor and sleep pathophysiology, with evidence implicating thalamic and brainstem structures and monoaminergic neurotransmission. This review highlights the need for an understanding of normal and abnormal sleep within the movement disorder clinic, an ability to screen for specific causes of poor sleep and to treat sleep disturbance to improve quality of life. Key sleep disorders also act as important biomarkers and have implications in diagnosis, prognosis and the development of future therapies.

Sleep Disorders and Cognitive Dysfunctions in Parkinson's Disease: A Meta-Analytic Study. Neuropsychol Rev 2021; 31:643-682.

Abstract
A relationship between sleep disorders and cognitive dysfunctions was reported in Parkinson's Disease (PD), however, some studies did not confirm the link. A meta-analytic study was performed to investigate the relationship between sleep disorders and cognitive dysfunctions, and to clarify the evolution of cognitive status in PD patients with sleep disorders.The systematic literature search was performed up to November 2020 using PubMed, Scopus, and PsycINFO databases. We included studies published in peer-reviewed journals in English providing results about neuropsychological comparison between patients with or without sleep disorders. Meta-analysis on cross-sectional data included 54 studies for REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD), 22 for Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS), 7 for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), 13 for Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), and 5 for insomnia, the meta-analysis on longitudinal data included 7 studies.RBD was related to deficits of global cognitive functioning, memory, executive functions, attention/working memory, language, and visuospatial abilities. EDS was associated with deficits of global cognitive functioning and attention and working memory abilities, whereas RLS and OSA were related to global cognitive dysfunction. Moreover, we revealed that PD patients with RBD and those with EDS performed worse than PD patients without sleep disorders at follow-up rather than baseline evaluation. Our results suggest that sleep disorders are associated with cognitive deficits supporting indirectly that these, especially the REM Sleep Behavior Disorder, reflect abnormalities of frontal networks and posterior cortical areas. Sleep disorders in patients with PD seem to also increase the risk for long-term cognitive decline.

Abstract
Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a common condition found in more than 50% of the patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Molecular imaging shows that PD with RBD (PD-RBD+) have lower striatal dopamine transporter activity within the caudate and putamen relative to PD without RBD (PD-RBD-). However, the characterization of the extra-striatal dopamine within the mesocortical and mesolimbic pathways remains unknown. We aim to elucidate this with PET imaging in 15 PD-RBD+ and 15 PD-RBD- patients, while having 15 age-matched healthy controls (HC). Each participant underwent a single PET scan with [11 C]FLB-457 to detect the D2 receptor availability within the extra-striatal regions of interest (ROI), including the prefrontal, temporal, and limbic areas. [11 C]FLB-457 retention was expressed as the nondisplaceable binding potential. Our results reveal that relative to HC, PD-RBD+ and PD-RBD- patients have lower levels of D2 receptor availability within the uncus parahippocampus, superior, lateral, and inferior temporal cortex. PD-RBD+ showed steep decline in D2 receptors within the left uncus parahippocampus with increasing disease severity, but this was not observed for PD-RBD- patients. Findings imply that extra-striatal dopaminergic system may play a role in contributing to symptomatic progress in PD patients with RBD. However, validation with more advanced PD patients are needed.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare whether the characteristics of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients between probably rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and confirmed RBD versus non-RBD are differing using a meta-analytic approach. We systematically searched PubMed, EmBase, and the Cochrane library for eligible studies throughout October 2018 in this meta-analysis. The clinical characteristics of PD patients presented with probably RBD, confirmed RBD, or non-RBD were analyzed. The pooled odds ratios and weighted mean differences with corresponding 95 % confidence intervals were calculated for categories and continuous data, respectively. All the pooled analyses were conducted using random-effects model. Forty-seven studies recruited a total of 8019 PD patients were included in the final meta-analysis. The summary results indicated significant differences between probable RBD and non-RBD for PD duration, levodopa dosage daily, Hoehn-Yahr stage, UPDRS-III, UPDRS-motor score, UPDRS activity of daily living, Epworth Sleepiness scale, male percentage, dyskinesia, orthostatic hypotension, constipation, and fluctuations present. Moreover, confirmed RBD versus non-RBD showed significant differences for age, PD duration, levodopa dosage daily, Mini-Mental State Examination, Hoehn-Yahr stage, UPDRS-motor score, Epworth Sleepiness scale, male percentage, dyskinesia, hallucination, insomnia, dementia, orthostatic hypotension, falls, and fluctuations present. Furthermore, the difference of confirmed RBD versus non-RBD was significantly elderly than probable RBD versus non-RBD. Moreover, PD patients with confirmed RBD with lower Mini-Mental State Examination as compared with probable RBD corresponding PD patients without RBD. In addition, PD patients with confirmed RBD versus probable RBD was associated with high Hoehn-Yahr stage as compared with non-RBD. Finally, patients with confirmed RBD with high incidence of insomnia as compared with probable RBD corresponding PD patients without RBD. The results provide the comprehensive differences in the patients' characteristics among probable RBD, confirmed RBD, and non-RBD in PD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Parkinson's disease (PD) is usually accompanied by rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD). A systematic review has concluded that motor manifestations are associated with RBD in PD patients, but whether the same is true of non-motor symptoms is unclear. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted by searching studies related to PD and RBD in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane databases. Data were pooled where appropriate and used to calculate odds ratios (ORs), mean differences (MDs), or standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic. RESULTS PD patients with RBD were more likely to be male (OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.14-1.40) and older (MD 1.70 years, 95% CI 1.24-2.16) than those of patients without RBD. Patients with RBD were at a higher risk of non-motor symptoms such as constipation (OR 1.94, 95% CI 1.57-2.38), hallucination (OR 2.62, 95% CI 2.01-3.41), depression (SMD 0.39, 95% CI 0.25-0.53), and cognitive impairment (SMD - 0.29, 95% CI - 0.42 to - 0.17) based on standardized questionnaire scores. Similarly, PD patients with RBD suffered more severe motor symptoms and required higher doses of levodopa therapy. CONCLUSIONS The available evidence suggests that PD patients with RBD suffer severer non-motor and motor symptoms than those without RBD. A potential explanation is that PD patients with RBD present more diffuse neurodegeneration.

Abstract
The concept of cognitive reserve (CR) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) explains the differences between individuals in their susceptibility to AD-related pathologies. An enhanced CR may lead to less cognitive deficits despite severe pathological lesions. Parkinson's disease (PD) is also a common neurodegenerative disease and is mainly characterized by motor dysfunction related to striatal dopaminergic depletion. The degree of motor deficits in PD is closely correlated to the degree of dopamine depletion; however, significant individual variations still exist. Therefore, we hypothesized that the presence of motor reserve (MR) in PD explains the individual differences in motor deficits despite similar levels of striatal dopamine depletion. Since 2015, we have performed a series of studies investigating MR in de novo patients with PD using the data of initial clinical presentation and dopamine transporter PET scan. In this review, we summarized the results of these published studies. In particular, some premorbid experiences (i.e., physical activity and education) and modifiable factors (i.e., body mass index and white matter hyperintensity on brain image studies) could modulate an individual's capacity to tolerate PD pathology, which can be maintained throughout disease progression.

Abstract
The current study aimed to confirm whether probable rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (pRBD) is associated with a specific pattern of striatal dopamine depletion in an international, multicenter, prospective cohort of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Two hundred and seventy de novo, drug-naïve patients with PD underwent dopamine transporter (DAT) single photon emission computed tomography with 123I-FP-CIT at baseline and 1, 2, and 4 years after the initial scan. The diagnosis of pRBD was based on the 10-item RBD Screening Questionnaire. Striatal DAT binding levels and their rates of decline were compared between patients with pRBD and those without. At baseline, patients in the PD-pRBD+ group showed lower striatal DAT binding in the caudate (which was more pronounced in the less-affected hemisphere) and in the putamen. During the 4-year follow-up, patients in the PD-pRBD+ group consistently exhibited greater DAT loss than patients in the PD-pRBD- group with comparable disease duration in all four striatal subregions. These patients also exhibited a more rapid decrease in DAT binding in the caudate and a less prominent interhemispheric asymmetry in the putamen. The distinct pattern of striatal DAT depletion may contribute to a more malignant phenotype of PD associated with RBD, specifically faster progression of motor symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition and striatal dopamine depletion, cognitive functions, and neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). METHODS We consecutively recruited 51 patients with DLB who had undergone a neuropsychological test, Neuropsychiatric Inventory assessment, brain MRI, N-(3-[18F]fluoropropyl)-2β-carbon ethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl) PET, and 18F-florbetaben PET within 6 months. The patients were divided into Aβ-negative (DLB-Aβ-, n = 20) and Aβ-positive (DLB-Aβ+, n = 31) groups according to the brain amyloid plaque load score. We performed comparative analyses of dopamine transporter (DAT) activity, neuropsychological profile, and neuropsychiatric symptoms between the 2 groups. RESULTS Compared to the DLB-Aβ- group, the DLB-Aβ+ group had a younger age at diagnosis (p = 0.017), poorer performance in attention (p = 0.028) and visuospatial (p = 0.006) functions, and higher proportion of anxiety (p = 0.006) and total neuropsychiatric burden (p = 0.013). Those in the DLB-Aβ+ group also had lower DAT activity in the anterior putamen (p = 0.015) and ventral striatum (p = 0.006) regardless of age, sex, and years of education. In addition, lower DAT activity in the ventral striatum was significantly associated with anxiety and total neuropsychiatric burden in DLB. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that Aβ deposition in DLB is associated with diagnosis at a younger age, higher cognitive and neuropsychiatric burden, and decreased DAT activity, suggesting that evaluation of clinical features and DAT activity can predict the presence of Aβ in DLB.

Abstract
Recent evidence has advanced our understanding of the function of sleep to include removal of neurotoxic protein aggregates via the glymphatic system. However, most research on the glymphatic system utilizes animal models, and the function of waste clearance processes in humans remains unclear. Understanding glymphatic function offers new insight into the development of neurodegenerative diseases that result from toxic protein inclusions, particularly those characterized by neuropathological sleep dysfunction, like Parkinson's disease (PD). In PD, we propose that glymphatic flow may be compromised due to the combined neurotoxic effects of alpha-synuclein protein aggregates and deteriorated dopaminergic neurons that are linked to altered REM sleep, circadian rhythms, and clock gene dysfunction. This review highlights the importance of understanding the functional role of glymphatic system disturbance in neurodegenerative disorders and the subsequent clinical and neuropathological effects on disease progression. Future research initiatives utilizing noninvasive brain imaging methods in human subjects with PD are warranted, as in vivo identification of functional biomarkers in glymphatic system functioning may improve clinical diagnosis and treatment of PD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Parkinson's disease (PD) patients are often unaware of olfactory deficits despite having hyposmia from the early stages. We aimed to evaluate whether olfactory anosognosia is a predictor of cognitive decline in PD. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we recruited 77 PD patients who underwent both olfactory and neuropsychological tests and were followed-up for over 5 years. Based on the degree of olfactory dysfunction and awareness of its presence, patients were classified as normosmic patients (Normosmia group, n = 15), hyposmic patients without olfactory anosognosia (Hyposmia-OA-, n = 40), or hyposmic patients with olfactory anosognosia (Hyposmia-OA+, n = 22). We compared the rates of cognitive decline using linear mixed model and dementia conversion using a survival analysis among the groups. RESULTS A higher proportion of patients in the Hyposmia-OA+ group had mild cognitive impairment at baseline (77.3%) and dementia converter at follow-up (50.0%). The Hyposmia-OA+ group exhibited a faster decline in frontal executive and global cognitive function than did the Normosmia and Hyposmia-OA- groups. A Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that the conversion rate to dementia was significantly higher in the Hyposmia-OA+ group than in the Normosmia (P = 0.007) and Hyposmia-OA- (P = 0.038) groups. A Cox regression analysis showed that olfactory anosognosia remained a significant predictor of time to develop dementia in the Hyposmia-OA+ group compared to the Normosmia group (adjusted hazard ratio 3.30; 95% confidence interval 1.10-8.21). CONCLUSION This study suggests that olfactory anosognosia is a predictor of cognitive decline and dementia conversion in PD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between the development of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) and longitudinal changes in cognition. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we recruited 119 patients with Parkinson disease (PD) who underwent baseline and follow-up neuropsychological evaluations and were treated with levodopa for >5 years. On the basis of LID development, the patients were classified as patients with LID (PD-LID+, n = 38) or without LID (PD-LID-, n = 81) within 5 years of levodopa administration. After adjusting for age, sex, years of education, body mass index, motor severity at baseline, and levodopa increment per year, we compared the rates of cognitive decline using linear mixed model and dementia conversion using survival analysis between the groups. RESULTS Neuropsychological performances and the percentage of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) at baseline did not differ between the groups. The PD-LID+ group showed faster declines in frontal executive function (p = 0.002) and global cognitive function. The conversion rate to dementia was significantly higher in the PD-LID+ group than in the PD-LID- group (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 3.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.76-8.82). Patients with MCI in the PD-LID+ group had a higher risk of PD dementia conversion than those with normal cognition (adjusted HR 6.08, 95% CI 1.25-29.56) or MCI (adjusted HR 4.05, 95% CI 1.14-14.43) in the PD-LID- group. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrated that LID was closely associated with the progression of cognitive decline, especially frontal executive dysfunction, and the development of PD dementia.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the gradual degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, leading to striatal dopamine depletion. A partial unilateral striatal 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesion causes 40-60% dopamine depletion in the lesioned rat striatum, modeling the early stage of PD. In this study, we explored the connectivity between the brain regions in partially 6-OHDA lesioned male Wistar rats under urethane anesthesia using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at 5 weeks after the 6-OHDA infusion. Under urethane anesthesia, the brain fluctuates between the two states, resembling rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep states. We observed clear urethane-induced sleep-like states in 8/19 lesioned animals and 8/18 control animals. 6-OHDA lesioned animals exhibited significantly lower functional connectivity between the brain regions. However, we observed these differences only during the REM-like sleep state, suggesting the involvement of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway in REM sleep regulation. Corticocortical and corticostriatal connections were decreased in both hemispheres, reflecting the global effect of the lesion. Overall, this study describes a promising model to study PD-related sleep disorders in rats using fMRI.

Abstract
Depression frequently accompanies Parkinson's disease and often precedes the onset of motor symptoms. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of depression on motor compensation in patients with de novo Parkinson's disease. This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 474 non-demented patients with de novo Parkinson's disease (mean age, 64.6±9.8 years; 242 men) who underwent both dopamine transporter PET scan and depression assessment using the Beck Depression Inventory at baseline. Patients were classified into tertiles by Beck Depression Inventory score. At baseline, high-tertile group (Beck Depression Inventory score ≥15, n = 157) showed more severe motor deficits and lower cognitive function than low-tertile group (Beck Depression Inventory score ≤7, n = 158, P = 0.034 and P = 0.008, respectively). Greater motor deficits in high-tertile group than low-tertile group remained significant after controlling for dopamine transporter binding in the posterior putamen, as well as other confounding variables. During follow-up of a median duration of 47 months, high-tertile group received higher levodopa-equivalent doses for symptom control than did low-tertile group after controlling for age, gender, and initial motor deficit severity. These results demonstrate that depression in de novo Parkinson's disease is associated with motor deficit severity at baseline and dose of PD medications during follow-up, suggesting that the presence of depression in de novo Parkinson's disease represents poor motor compensation.

Abstract
Insomnia, hypersomnia and REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RSBD) during sleep are major problems for patients suffering from Parkinson's disease (PD) but they are also used to predict its onset. While these secondary symptoms detract from the quality of life in PD patients, few treatment options are available due to limited efficacy or risk of complicating the treatment regimen. Light therapy (LT) has been suggested as a strategy for sleep disorders but it has only been implemented recently for use in PD. An open label, retrospective study was undertaken where PD patients had been undergoing LT, using polychromatic light, for four months to 15 years prior. It was found that 1 h exposure to light, just prior to retiring, significantly improved insomnia and reduced RSBD in as little as one month after commencing LT. In addition, the improvement was maintained as long as LT was continued over a four to six year period. The efficacy of LT in alleviating these sleep related conditions was not compromised by time since diagnosis or age of the patient. These results intimate the value of long term application of non-invasive techniques such as LT for treating sleep disorders in PD and justify further controlled trials on the long term efficacy of LT.
