- Behavior Disorder
“Mark Mahowald is the clinical sleep specialist who first discovered REM sleep behavior disorder and he is quite right in saying that some percentage of patients with REM sleep behavior disorder go on to develop Parkinson disease or similar disorders, [journals.lww.com]
Diagnostic criteria for REM Behavior Disorder (ICSD-2: ICD-9 code: 327.42) 1 A. [bjmp.org]
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the risk for developing a defined neurodegenerative syndrome in a large cohort of idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (IRBD) patients with long follow-up. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Introduction REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by dream-enacting behaviors associated with REM sleep without muscle atonia [1], [2], [3]. [journals.plos.org]
Examples of non-motor symptoms include: apathy, depression, constipation, sleep behavior disorders, loss of sense of smell and cognitive impairment. In idiopathic Parkinson’s disease, progression tends to be slow and variable. [parkinson.org]

Other symptoms which were also alleviated were those of delusions and apathy according to The Journal of Alzheimer's disease. [solcbd.com]
• Behavioural effects: – anxiety, agitation, confusion, delusions (false belief), hallucinations (false perception), and depression. 3/13/2017 14 15. [slideshare.net]
Hallucinations, paranoia, delusions, sleep disorders, and autonomic dysfunction are common. Lewy bodies are more widely distributed than in PD, with early and prominent cortical involvement. [aao.org]

SSPE The initial clinical manifestations include personality changes, aggressive behavior, and impaired cognitive function. Myoclonic seizures soon dominate the clinical picture. [slideshare.net]
Psychiatric manifestations include depression, mania, impulsivity, anxiety, psychosis, obsessive-compulsiveness, aggressive behavior, and sleep disorders. [aao.org]

A clinical pattern of neonatal-onset intractable seizure, profound developmental delay, muscular hypotonia, hypsarrhythmia, and no focal abnormality of brain MRI should prompt initiation of molecular genetic analysis of SYNJ1. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Interestingly, reduction of tau reduces seizures and improves cognitive function ( Roberson et al., 2007 ). [brain.oxfordjournals.org]
