Insights Into Prodromal Parkinson's and REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

Indu Subramanian (UCLA) speaks with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) expert and NAPS Co-Investigator, Ronald Postuma, MD, MSc (McGill), about prodromal Parkinsons's disease and it's link to RBD.

"Normally, when you or I dream, we're supposed to be paralyzed and we're not able to move when we dream. People with RBD lose the ability to be paralyzed, and so whatever they dream, they do. If I'm dreaming about speaking in a lecture like this, my wife will hear it. If I'm running in in my dream, I'll be making running movements in bed."
