Abstract
The quality of sleep plays a significant role in determining human well-being, and studying sleep and sleep disorders using various methods can aid in the prevention and treatment of diseases. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a noninvasive and highly sensitive medical imaging technique that has been widely adopted in the clinic. This review article provides data on research activity related to sleep and sleep apnea and discusses the use of PET in investigating sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. We conducted a statistical analysis of the number of original research articles published on sleep and sleep apnea between 1965 and 2021 and found that there has been a dramatic increase in publications since 1990. The distribution of contributing countries and regions has also undergone significant changes. Although there is an extensive body of literature on sleep research (256,399 original research articles during 1965-2021), PET has only been used in 54 of these published studies, indicating a largely untapped area of research. Nonetheless, PET is a useful tool for identifying connections between sleep disorders and pathological changes in various diseases, including neurological, metabolic, and cardiovascular disorders, as well as cancer. To facilitate the broader use of PET in sleep apnea research, further studies are needed in both clinical and preclinical settings.

Multidirectional associations between the gut microbiota and Parkinson's disease, updated information from the perspectives of humoral pathway, cellular immune pathway and neuronal pathway. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2023; 13:1296713.

Abstract
The human gastrointestinal tract is inhabited by a diverse range of microorganisms, collectively known as the gut microbiota, which form a vast and complex ecosystem. It has been reported that the microbiota-gut-brain axis plays a crucial role in regulating host neuroprotective function. Studies have shown that patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have dysbiosis of the gut microbiota, and experiments involving germ-free mice and fecal microbiota transplantation from PD patients have revealed the pathogenic role of the gut microbiota in PD. Interventions targeting the gut microbiota in PD, including the use of prebiotics, probiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation, have also shown efficacy in treating PD. However, the causal relationship between the gut microbiota and Parkinson's disease remains intricate. This study reviewed the association between the microbiota-gut-brain axis and PD from the perspectives of humoral pathway, cellular immune pathway and neuronal pathway. We found that the interactions among gut microbiota and PD are very complex, which should be "multidirectional", rather than conventionally regarded "bidirectional". To realize application of the gut microbiota-related mechanisms in the clinical setting, we propose several problems which should be addressed in the future study.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by movement disorders due to the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the ventrolateral region of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Apart from the cardinal motor symptoms such as rigidity and bradykinesia, non-motor symptoms including those associated with respiratory dysfunction are of increasing interest. Not only can they impair the patients’ quality of life but they also can cause aspiration pneumonia, which is the leading cause of death among PD patients. This narrative review attempts to summarize the existing literature on respiratory impairments reported in human studies, as well as what is newly known from studies in animal models of the disease. Discussed are not only respiratory muscle dysfunction, apnea, and dyspnea, but also altered central respiratory control, responses to hypercapnia and hypoxia, and how they are affected by the pharmacological treatment of PD.

Abstract
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is one of the most common sleep disorders in Parkinson's disease (PD). It has attracted much attention due to high morbidity, poor quality of life, increased risk for accidents, obscure mechanisms, comorbidity with PD and limited therapeutic approaches. In this review, we summarize the current literature on epidemiology of EDS in PD to address the discrepancy between subjective and objective measures and clarify the reason for the inconsistent prevalence in previous studies. Besides, we focus on the effects of commonly used antiparkinsonian drugs on EDS and related pharmacological mechanisms to provide evidence for rational clinical medication in sleepy PD patients. More importantly, degeneration of wake-promoting nuclei owing to primary neurodegenerative process of PD is the underlying pathogenesis of EDS. Accordingly, altered wake-promoting nerve nuclei and neurotransmitter systems in PD patients are highlighted to providing clues for identifying EDS-causing targets in the sleep and wake cycles. Future mechanistic studies toward this direction will hopefully advance the development of novel and specific interventions for EDS in PD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience significant vocal communication deficits. Findings in the Pink1-/- rat model of early-onset PD suggest that ultrasonic vocal communication is impaired early, progressively worsens prior to nigrostriatal dopamine depletion, and is associated with loss of locus coeruleus neurons, brainstem α-synuclein, and larynx pathology. Individuals with PD also demonstrate ventilatory deficits and altered sensory processing, which may contribute to vocal deficits. OBJECTIVE The central hypothesis is that ventilatory and sensory deficits are present in the early disease stages when limb and vocal motor deficits also present. METHODS Pink1-/- rats were compared to wildtype (WT) controls at longitudinal timepoints. Whole-body flow through plethysmography was used to measure ventilation in the following conditions: baseline, hypoxia, and maximal chemoreceptor stimulation. Plantar thermal nociception, and as a follow up to previous work, limb gait and vocalization were analyzed. Serotonin density (5-HT) in the dorsal raphe was quantified post-mortem. RESULTS Baseline breathing frequencies were consistently higher in Pink1-/- rats at all time points. In hypoxic conditions, there were no significant changes between genotypes. With hypercapnia, Pink1-/- rats had decreased breathing frequencies with age. Thermal withdrawal latencies were significantly faster in Pink1-/- compared with WT rats across time. No differences in 5-HT were found between genotypes. Vocal peak frequency was negatively correlated to tidal volume and minute ventilation in Pink1-/- rats. CONCLUSION This work suggests that abnormal nociceptive responses in Pink1-/- rats and ventilatory abnormalities may be associated with abnormal sensorimotor processing to chemosensory stimuli during disease manifestation.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive degeneration of monoaminergic central pathways such as the serotonergic. The degeneration of serotonergic signaling in striatal and extrastriatal brain regions is an early feature of PD and is associated with several motor and non-motor complications of the disease. Molecular imaging techniques with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) have greatly contributed to the investigation of biological changes in vivo and to the understanding of the extent of serotonergic pathology in patients or individuals at risk for PD. Such discoveries provide with opportunities for the identification of new targets that can be used for the development of novel disease-modifying drugs or symptomatic treatments. Future studies of imaging serotonergic molecular targets will better clarify the importance of serotonergic pathology in PD, including progression of pathology, target-identification for pharmacotherapy, and relevance to endogenous synaptic serotonin levels. In this article, we review the current status and understanding of serotonergic imaging in PD.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a disorder characterized by a progressive loss of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and a depletion of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the striatum. Our published results indicate that fasciculation and elongation protein zeta-1 (FEZ1) plays a role in the astrocyte-mediated protection of dopamine neurons and regulation of the neuronal microenvironment during the progression of PD. In this study, we examined the effects of engrafted type-2 astrocytes (T2As) with high expression of FEZ1 on the improvement of the symptoms and functional reconstruction of PD rats. T2As were stereotactically transplanted into the striatum of rats with PD induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). An examination of apomorphine (APO)-induced rotations was performed to evaluate dopamine neuron damage and motor functions. Remarkably, the grafted cells survived in the lesion environment for six weeks or longer after implantation. In addition, the transplantation of T2As decrease the average velocity and the duration time of the APO-induced rotations, and increase the actuation time, as measured in the rotation behavioural tests. In the substantia nigra, the transplantation of T2As reduced the PD-induced GFAP, TH and FEZ1 downregulation. The grafted cells exclusively migrated to other regions near the injection site in the striatum and differentiated into GFAP+ astrocytes or TH+ neurons. Furthermore, by detecting monoamine neurotransmitters through high-performance liquid chromatography, we found that the nigrostriatal pathway had been repaired to some extent. Taken together, these results suggest that engrafted T2As with high expression of FEZ1 improved the symptoms and functional reconstruction of PD rats, providing a theoretical basis for FEZ1 as a potential target and engraftment of T2As as a therapeutic strategy in the treatment of PD.

Abstract
Introduction Sleep disturbances are common non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). Experimental studies suggest involvement of the serotonergic system in the regulation of sleep and arousal. Using [11C]DASB positron emission tomography, a marker of serotonin transporter availability, we investigated whether sleep dysfunction is associated with serotonergic dysfunction in PD. Methods We studied 14 PD patients with sleep dysfunction, 14 PD without sleep dysfunction, and 12 healthy controls. Groups were matched for age, disease duration, severity of motor symptoms, daily intake of levodopa equivalent units, body-mass-index, depression and fatigue. [11C]DASB non-displaceable binding potential (BPND) was calculated for regions with a role in the regulation of sleep and arousal. Results [11C]DASB BPND was reduced by 32–49% in PD patients with sleep dysfunction, and 14–25% in PD without sleep dysfunction, compared to healthy controls. PD patients with sleep dysfunction had lower [11C]DASB BPND in caudate (P < 0.01), putamen (P < 0.001), ventral striatum (P < 0.001), thalamus (P < 0.05), hypothalamus (P < 0.001) and raphe nuclei (P < 0.01), compared to PD without sleep dysfunction. Higher severity of sleep symptoms (assessed with Parkinson Disease Sleep Scale) correlated with lower [11C]DASB binding in caudate (r = 0.77; P < 0.001), putamen (r = 0.84; P < 0.001), ventral striatum (r = 0.86; P < 0.001), thalamus (r = 0.79; P < 0.001), hypothalamus (r = 0.90; P < 0.001) and raphe nuclei (r = 0.83; P < 0.001). Conclusions Our findings demonstrate that sleep dysfunction in PD is associated with reduced serotonergic function in the midbrain raphe, basal ganglia and hypothalamus. Strategies to increase serotonin levels in the brain could be a promising approach to treat sleep dysfunction in PD, and may also have relevance in other neurodegenerative disorders. Reduced PET [11C]DASB binding in Parkinson patients with sleep disturbances PD with sleep disturbances shows loss of serotonin in the striatum, raphe and hypothalamus. Loss of serotonin correlated with severity of sleep symptoms in PD patients. Serotonergic dysfunction could contribute to pathophysiology of sleep disturbances.

Abstract
Sleep disorders are among the most common non-motor manifestations in Parkinson's disease (PD) and have a significant negative impact on quality of life. While sleep disorders in PD share most characteristics with those that occur in the general population, there are several considerations specific to this patient population regarding diagnosis, management, and implications. The available research on these disorders is expanding rapidly, but many questions remain unanswered. We thus conducted a systematic review of the literature published from 2005 to 2015 on the following disorders of sleep and wakefulness in PD: REM sleep behavior disorder, insomnia, nocturia, restless legs syndrome and periodic limb movements, sleep disordered breathing, excessive daytime sleepiness, and circadian rhythm disorders. We discuss the epidemiology, etiology, clinical implications, associated features, evaluation measures, and management of these disorders. The influence on sleep of medications used in the treatment of motor and non-motor symptoms of PD is detailed. Additionally, we suggest areas in need of further research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In-vivo quantification of serotonin transporters (SERT) in human brain has been a mainstay of molecular imaging in the field of neuropsychiatric disorders and helped to explore the underpinnings of several medical conditions, therapeutic and environmental influences. The emergence of PET/MR hybrid systems and the heterogeneity of SERT binding call for the development of efficient methods making the investigation of larger or vulnerable populations with limited scanner time and simultaneous changes in molecular and functional measures possible. We propose [11C]DASB bolus plus constant infusion for these applications and validate it against standard analyses of dynamic PET data. METHODS [11C]DASB bolus/infusion optimization was performed on data acquired after [11C]DASB bolus in 8 healthy subjects. Subsequently, 16 subjects underwent one scan using [11C]DASB bolus plus constant infusion with Kbol 160-179min and one scan after [11C]DASB bolus for inter-method reliability analysis. Arterial blood sampling and metabolite analysis were performed for all scans. Distribution volumes (VT) were obtained using Logan plots for bolus scans and ratios between tissue and plasma parent activity for bolus plus infusion scans for different time spans of the scan (VT-70 for 60-70min after start of tracer infusion, VT-90 for 75-90min, VT-120 for 100-120min) in 9 subjects. Omitting blood data, binding potentials (BPND) obtained using multilinear reference tissue modeling (MRTM2) and cerebellar gray matter as reference region were compared in 11 subjects. RESULTS A Kbol of 160min was observed to be optimal for rapid equilibration in thalamus and striatum. VT-70 showed good intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) of 0.61-0.70 for thalamus, striatal regions and olfactory cortex with bias ≤5.1% compared to bolus scans. ICCs increased to 0.72-0.78 for VT-90 and 0.77-0.93 for VT-120 in these regions. BPND-90 had negligible bias ≤2.5%, low variability ≤7.9% and ICCs of 0.74-0.87; BPND-120 had ICCs of 0.73-0.90. Low-binding cortical regions and cerebellar gray matter showed a positive bias of ~8% and ICCs 0.57-0.68 at VT-90. Cortical BPND suffered from high variability and bias, best results were obtained for olfactory cortex and anterior cingulate cortex with ICC=0.74-0.75 for BPND-90. High-density regions amygdala and midbrain had a negative bias of -5.5% and -22.5% at VT-90 with ICC 0.70 and 0.63, respectively. CONCLUSIONS We have optimized the equilibrium method with [11C]DASB bolus plus constant infusion and demonstrated good inter-method reliability with accepted standard methods and for SERT quantification using both VT and BPND in a range of different brain regions. With as little as 10-15min of scanning valid estimates of SERT VT and BPND in thalamus, amygdala, striatal and high-binding cortical regions could be obtained. Blood sampling seems vital for valid quantification of SERT in low-binding cortical regions. These methods allow the investigation of up to three subjects with a single radiosynthesis.

Abstract
Sleep disorders are commonly observed in patients with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease and often represent an early manifestation of the underlying degenerative process. The pathophysiology of sleep dysfunction in these conditions is complex and incompletely understood. However, in recent years, functional imaging in vivo with SPECT and PET has significantly improved our understanding of the possible molecular mechanisms. These include dysfunction of both dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic pathways involved in sleep/wakefulness control. This paper summarizes the main findings of the imaging studies performed to elucidate the aetiology of sleep disorders in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Sleep disorders are common during the clinical course of the main neurodegenerative diseases. Among these disorders, obstructive sleep apnea has been extensively studied in the last decade and recent knowledge regarding its relationship with the neurodegenerative process points a bidirectional relationship. Neurodegenerative diseases can lead to functional changes in the respiratory system that facilitate the emergence of apnea. On the other hand, obstructive sleep apnea itself can lead to acceleration of neuronal death due to intermittent hypoxia. Considering that obstructive sleep apnea is a potentially treatable condition, its early identification and intervention could have a positive impact on the management of patients with neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Over the past three decades, neuroimaging studies-including structural, functional and molecular modalities-have provided invaluable insights into the mechanisms underlying Parkinson disease (PD). Observations from multimodal neuroimaging techniques have indicated changes in brain structure and metabolic activity, and an array of neurochemical changes that affect receptor sites and neurotransmitter systems. Characterization of the neurobiological alterations that lead to phenotypic heterogeneity in patients with PD has considerably aided the in vivo investigation of aetiology and pathophysiology, and the identification of novel targets for pharmacological or surgical treatments, including cell therapy. Although PD is now considered to be very complex, no neuroimaging modalities are specifically recommended for routine use in clinical practice. However, conventional MRI and dopamine transporter imaging are commonly used as adjuvant tools in the differential diagnosis between PD and nondegenerative causes of parkinsonism. First-line neuroimaging tools that could have an impact on patient prognosis and treatment strategies remain elusive. This Review discusses the lessons learnt from decades of neuroimaging research in PD, and the promising new approaches with potential applicability to clinical practice.

Abstract
Background Excessive daytime sleepiness is a frequent complaint in Parkinson’s disease (PD); however the frequency and risk factors for objective sleepiness remain mostly unknown. We investigated both the frequency and determinants of self-reported and objective daytime sleepiness in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) using a wide range of potential predictors. Methods One hundred and thirty four consecutive patients with PD, without selection bias for sleep complaint, underwent a semi-structured clinical interview and a one night polysomnography followed by a multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). Demographic characteristics, medical history, PD course and severity, daytime sleepiness, depressive and insomnia symptoms, treatment intake, pain, restless legs syndrome, REM sleep behaviour disorder, and nighttime sleep measures were collected. Self-reported daytime sleepiness was defined by an Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score above 10. A mean sleep latency on MSLT below 8 minutes defined objective daytime sleepiness. Results Of 134 patients with PD, 46.3% had subjective and only 13.4% had objective sleepiness with a weak negative correlation between ESS and MSLT latency. A high body mass index (BMI) was associated with both ESS and MSLT, a pain complaint with ESS, and a higher apnea/hypopnea index with MSLT. However, no associations were found between both objective and subjective sleepiness, and measures of motor disability, disease onset, medication (type and dose), depression, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, REM sleep behaviour disorder and nighttime sleep evaluation. Conclusion We found a high frequency of self-reported EDS in PD, a finding which is however not confirmed by the gold standard neurophysiological evaluation. Current treatment options for EDS in PD are very limited; it thus remains to be determined whether decreasing pain and BMI in association with the treatment of sleep apnea syndrome would decrease significantly daytime sleepiness in PD.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Insomnia and daytime sleepiness are common complaints in Parkinson disease (PD), but the main causes remain unclear. We examined the potential impact of both motor and non-motor symptoms of PD on sleep problems. METHODS Patients with PD (n = 128) were assessed using the Insomnia Severity Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, Fatigue Severity Scale, Survey of Autonomic Symptoms, and the 39-item Parkinson Disease Questionnaire. A subset of subjects (n = 38, 30%) also completed nocturnal polysomnography and a multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). RESULTS Multivariate stepwise logistic regression models revealed that subjective insomnia was independently associated with depressed mood (odds ratio [OR] = 1.79; 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.01-3.19]), autonomic symptoms (1.77 [1.08-2.90]), fatigue (1.19 [1.02-1.38]), and age (0.61 [0.39-0.96]). Subjective daytime sleepiness was associated with dosage of dopaminergic medication (1.74 [1.08-2.80]) and fatigue (1.14 [1.02-1.28]). On polysomnography, longer sleep latency correlated with autonomic symptoms (rho = 0.40, p = 0.01) and part I (non-motor symptoms) of the Unified PD Rating Scale (rho = 0.38, p = 0.02). Decreased sleep efficiency correlated with autonomic symptoms (rho = -0.42, p < 0.0001). However, no significant difference emerged on polysomnography and MSLTs between patients with or without insomnia or daytime sleepiness. Higher rates of apneic events did predict shorter sleep latencies on the MSLTs. CONCLUSIONS Non-motor symptoms appear to be associated with subjective insomnia, whereas fatigue and dopaminergic medication are associated with subjective daytime sleepiness. Objective sleep laboratory data provided little insight into complaints of insomnia and sleepiness, though obstructive sleep apnea predicted worsened sleepiness when measured objectively.
