Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES The body-first Parkinson's disease (PD) hypothesis suggests initial gut Lewy body pathology initially propagates to the pons before reaching the substantia nigra, and subsequently progresses to the diencephalic and cortical levels, a disease course presumed to likely occur in PD with rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD). We aimed to explore the potential association between colonic phosphorylated alpha-synuclein histopathology (PASH) and diencephalic or cortical dysfunction evidenced by non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and wakefulness polysomnographic markers. METHODS In a study involving 43 patients with PD who underwent clinical examination, rectosigmoidoscopy, and polysomnography, we detected PASH on colonic biopsies using whole-mount immunostaining. We performed a visual semi-quantitative analysis of NREM sleep and wake electroencephalography (EEG), confirmed it with automated quantification of spindle and slow wave features of NREM sleep, and the wake dominant frequency, and then determined probable Arizona PD stage classifications based on sleep and wake EEG features. RESULTS The visual analysis aligned with the automated quantified spindle characteristics and the wake dominant frequency. Altered NREM sleep and wake parameters correlated with markers of PD severity, colonic PASH, and RBD diagnosis. Colonic PASH frequency also increased in parallel to probable Arizona PD stage classifications. CONCLUSIONS Colonic PASH is strongly associated with widespread brain sleep and wake dysfunction, suggesting an extensive diffusion of the pathologic process in PD. Visual and automated analyses of polysomnography signals provide useful markers to gauge covert brain dysfunction in PD.

Slow-wave sleep dysfunction in mild parkinsonism is associated with excessive beta and reduced delta oscillations in motor cortex. Front Neurosci 2024; 18:1338624. [PMID: 38449736 PMCID: PMC10915200 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2024.1338624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests slow-wave sleep (SWS) dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with faster disease progression, cognitive impairment, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Beta oscillations (8-35 Hz) in the basal ganglia thalamocortical (BGTC) network are thought to play a role in the development of cardinal motor signs of PD. The role cortical beta oscillations play in SWS dysfunction in the early stage of parkinsonism is not understood, however. To address this question, we used a within-subject design in a nonhuman primate (NHP) model of PD to record local field potentials from the primary motor cortex (MC) during sleep across normal and mild parkinsonian states. The MC is a critical node in the BGTC network, exhibits pathological oscillations with depletion in dopamine tone, and displays high amplitude slow oscillations during SWS. The MC is therefore an appropriate recording site to understand the neurophysiology of SWS dysfunction in parkinsonism. We observed a reduction in SWS quantity (p = 0.027) in the parkinsonian state compared to normal. The cortical delta (0.5-3 Hz) power was reduced (p = 0.038) whereas beta (8-35 Hz) power was elevated (p = 0.001) during SWS in the parkinsonian state compared to normal. Furthermore, SWS quantity positively correlated with delta power (r = 0.43, p = 0.037) and negatively correlated with beta power (r = -0.65, p < 0.001). Our findings support excessive beta oscillations as a mechanism for SWS dysfunction in mild parkinsonism and could inform the development of neuromodulation therapies for enhancing SWS in people with PD.

Abstract
Parasomnias are due to a transient unstable state dissociation during entry into sleep, within sleep, or during arousal from sleep, and manifest with abnormal sleep related behaviors, perceptions, emotions, dreams, and autonomic nervous system activity. Rapid eye movement (REM) parasomnias include REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), isolated recurrent sleep paralysis and nightmare disorder. Neurophysiology is key for diagnosing these disorders and provides insights into their pathophysiology. RBD is very well characterized from a neurophysiological point of view, also thank to the fact that polysomnography is needed for the diagnosis. Diagnostic criteria are provided by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and video-polysomnography guidelines for the diagnosis by the International REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Study Group. Differences between the two sets of criteria are presented and discussed. Availability of polysomnography in RBD provides data on sleep electroencephalography (EEG), electrooculography (EOG) and electromyography (EMG). Sleep EEG in RBD shows e.g. changes in delta and theta power, in sleep spindles and K complexes. EMG during REM sleep is essential for RBD diagnosis and is an important neurodegeneration biomarker. RBD patients present alterations also in wake EEG, autonomic function, evoked potentials, and transcranial magnetic stimulation. Clinical neurophysiological data on recurrent isolated sleep paralysis and nightmare disorder are scant. The few available data provide insights into the pathophysiology of these disorders, demonstrating a state dissociation in recurrent isolated sleep paralysis and suggesting alterations in sleep macro- and microstructure as well as autonomic changes in nightmare disorder.

Abstract
Study Objectives The body-first Parkinson's disease (PD) hypothesis suggests initial gut Lewy body pathology that propagates to the pons before reaching the substantia nigra, and subsequently progresses to the diencephalic and cortical levels. This disease course may also be the most likely in PD with rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD). Objectives We aimed to explore the potential association between colonic phosphorylated alpha-synuclein histopathology (PASH) and diencephalic or cortical dysfunction evidenced by non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and wakefulness polysomnographic markers. Methods In a study involving 43 patients with PD who underwent clinical examination, rectosigmoidoscopy, and polysomnography, we detected PASH on colonic biopsies using whole-mount immunostaining. We performed a visual semi-quantitative and automated quantification of spindle and slow wave features of NREM sleep, and the wake dominant frequency, and then determined Braak and Arizona stage classifications for PD severity based on sleep and wake electroencephalographic features. Results The visual analysis aligned with the automated quantified spindle characteristics and the wake dominant frequency. Altered NREM sleep and wake parameters correlated with markers of PD severity, colonic PASH, and RBD diagnosis. Colonic PASH frequency also increased in parallel to presumed PD Braak and Arizona stage classifications. Conclusions Colonic PASH in PD is strongly associated with widespread brain sleep and wake dysfunction, pointing toward likely extensive diffusion of the pathological process in the presumptive body-first PD phenotype. Visual and automated analyses of polysomnography signals provide useful markers to gauge covert brain dysfunction in PD. Statement of Significance The presence of gut synucleinopathy in Parkinson's disease can be linked to the body-first hypothesis in its pathophysiology. This study, performed in a cohort of 43 patients with Parkinson's disease that underwent clinical assessment, rectosigmoidoscopy and polysomnography, provides evidence that colonic neuropathology in Parkinson's disease is associated with widespread brain dysfunction, as evaluated by wake and non-rapid eye movement sleep polysomnographic markers. Our results support the assumption of an extensive diffusion of the pathological process to diencephalic and neocortical structures in the presumptive body-first phenotype. They also suggest the use of routine polysomnography in phenotyping patients with Parkinson's disease. Future studies should investigate the brain diffusion pattern and its sleep markers in the hypothesized brain-first phenotype of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Introduction Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) are at greater risk for cognitive decline and RBD has been associated with alterations in sleep-related EEG oscillations. This study evaluates differences in sleep quantitative EEG (qEEG) and cognition in PD participants with (PD-RBD) and without RBD (PD-no-RBD). Methods In this cross-sectional study, polysomnography (PSG)-derived qEEG and a comprehensive level II neuropsychological assessment were compared between PD-RBD (n = 21) and PD-no-RBD (n = 31). Following artifact rejection, qEEG analysis was performed in the frontal and central leads. Measures included Scalp-slow wave (SW) density, spindle density, morphological properties of SW and sleep spindles, SW-spindle phase-amplitude coupling, and spectral power analysis in NREM and REM. The neurocognitive battery had at least two tests per domain, covering five cognitive domains as recommended by the Movement Disorders Society Task Force for PD-MCI diagnosis. Differences in qEEG features and cognitive performance were compared between the two groups. Stepwise linear regression was performed to evaluate predictors of cognitive performance. Multiple comparisons were corrected using the Benjamini-Hochberg method. Results Spindle density and SW-spindle co-occurrence percent were lower in participants with PD-RBD compared to PD-no-RBD. The PD-RBD group also demonstrated higher theta spectral power during REM. Sleep spindles and years of education, but not RBD, were predictors of cognitive performance. Conclusion PD participants with RBD have alterations in sleep-related qEEG compared to PD participants without RBD. Although PD-RBD participants had worse cognitive performance compared to PD-no-RBD, regression models suggest that lower sleep spindle density, rather than presence of RBD, predicts worse comprehensive cognitive score. Future studies should include longitudinal evaluation to determine whether sleep-related qEEG alterations are associated with more rapid cognitive decline in PD-RBD.

Altered sleep and neurovascular dysfunction in alpha-synucleinopathies: the perfect storm for glymphatic failure. Front Aging Neurosci 2023; 15:1251755.

Abstract
Clinical and cognitive progression in alpha-synucleinopathies is highly heterogeneous. While some patients remain stable over long periods of time, other suffer early dementia or fast motor deterioration. Sleep disturbances and nocturnal blood pressure abnormalities have been identified as independent risk factors for clinical progression but a mechanistic explanation linking both aspects is lacking. We hypothesize that impaired glymphatic system might play a key role on clinical progression. Glymphatic system clears brain waste during specific sleep stages, being blood pressure the motive force that propels the interstitial fluid through brain tissue to remove protein waste. Thus, the combination of severe sleep alterations, such as REM sleep behavioral disorder, and lack of the physiological nocturnal decrease of blood pressure due to severe dysautonomia may constitute the perfect storm for glymphatic failure, causing increased abnormal protein aggregation and spreading. In Lewy body disorders (Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies) the increment of intraneuronal alpha-synuclein and extracellular amyloid-β would lead to cognitive deterioration, while in multisystemic atrophy, increased pathology in oligodendroglia would relate to the faster and malignant motor progression. We present a research model that may help in developing studies aiming to elucidate the role of glymphatic function and associated factors mainly in alpha-synucleinopathies, but that could be relevant also for other protein accumulation-related neurodegenerative diseases. If the model is proven to be useful could open new lines for treatments targeting glymphatic function (for example through control of nocturnal blood pressure) with the objective to ameliorate cognitive and motor progression in alpha-synucleinopathies.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this review is to summarize the current evidence on the relationship between sleep and cognition and present available data reporting the impact that sleep alterations may have on cognitive functions. RECENT FINDINGS Research findings support the idea that sleep is involved in cognitive processes and that altered sleep homeostasis or circadian rhythms may lead to clinical and biochemical changes associated with cognitive impairment. Evidence is particularly solid for the association between specific sleep architecture and circadian alterations and Alzheimer's disease. Sleep changes, as early manifestations or possible risk factors for neurodegeneration and cognitive decline, may be appropriate targets for interventions aiming to reduce the likelihood of dementia.

Abstract
The sleep slow-wave (SW) transition between negative and positive phases is thought to mirror synaptic strength and likely depends on brain health. This transition shows significant age-related changes but has not been investigated in pathological aging. The present study aimed at comparing the transition speed and other characteristics of SW between older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and cognitively normal (CN) controls with and without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We also examined the association of SW characteristics with the longitudinal changes of episodic memory and executive functions and the degree of subjective cognitive complaints. aMCI (no/mild OSA = 17; OSA = 15) and CN (no/mild OSA = 20; OSA = 17) participants underwent a night of polysomnography and a neuropsychological evaluation at baseline and 18 months later. Participants with aMCI had a significantly slower SW negative-to-positive-phase transition speed and a higher proportion of SW that are "slow-switchers" than CN participants. These SW measures in the frontal region were significantly correlated with memory decline and cognitive complaints in aMCI and cognitive improvements in CN participants. The transition speed of the SW that are "fast-switchers" was significantly slower in OSA compared to no or mild obstructive sleep apnea participants. The SW transition-related metrics showed opposite correlations with the longitudinal episodic memory changes depending on the participants' cognitive status. These relationships were particularly strong in participants with aMCI. As the changes of the SW transition-related metrics in pathological aging might reflect synaptic alterations, future studies should investigate whether these new metrics covary with biomarker levels of synaptic integrity in this population.

Abstract
Alpha-synucleinopathy is postulated to be central to both idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder (iRBD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Growing evidence suggests an association between the diminished clearance of α-synuclein and glymphatic system dysfunction. However, evidence accumulating primarily based on clinical data to support glymphatic system dysfunction in patients with iRBD and PD is currently insufficient. This study aimed to use diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) to evaluate glymphatic system activity and its relationship to clinical scores of disease severity in patients with possible iRBD (piRBDs) and those with PD. Further, we validated the correlation between the ALPS index and the prognosis of PD longitudinally. Overall, 168 patients with PD, 119 piRBDs, and 129 healthy controls were enroled. Among them, 50 patients with PD had been longitudinally reexamined. Patients with PD exhibited a lower ALPS index than those with piRBDs (P = 0.036), and both patient groups showed a lower ALPS index than healthy controls (P < 0.001 and P = 0.001). The ALPS index and elevated disease severity were negatively correlated in the piRBD and PD subgroups. Moreover, the ALPS index was correlated with cognitive decline in patients with PD in the longitudinal analyses. In conclusion, DTI-ALPS provided neuroimaging evidence of glymphatic system dysfunction in piRBDs and patients with PD; however, the potential of assessing the pathological progress of α-synucleinopathies as an indicator is worth verifying. Further development of imaging methods for glymphatic system function is also warranted.

Abstract
ObjectiveAquaporin-4 (AQP4) facilitates a sleep-enhanced interstitial brain waste clearance system. This study was conducted to determine the clinical implication of AQP4 polymorphisms in Parkinson’s disease (PD).MethodsThree-hundred and eighty-two patients with PD and 180 healthy controls with a mean follow-up time of 66.1 months from the Parkinson’s Progression Marker Initiative study were analyzed. We examined whether AQP4 SNPs were associated with an altered rate of motor or cognitive decline using linear mixed model and Cox regression. We then investigated whether AQP4 SNPs were associated with Aβ burden as measured by 18F Florbetapir standard uptake values. Furthermore, we examined if AQP4 SNPs moderated the association between REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and CSF biomarkers.ResultsIn patients with PD, AQP4 rs162009 (AA/AG vs. GG) was associated with slower dementia conversion, better performance in letter-number sequencing and symbol digit modalities, lower Aβ deposition in the putamen, anterior cingulum, and frontotemporal areas. In the subgroup of high RBD screening questionnaire score, rs162009 AA/AG had a higher CSF Aβ42 level. rs162009 AA/AG also had better performance in semantic fluency in healthy controls. Besides, rs68006382 (GG/GA vs. AA) was associated with faster progression to mild cognitive impairment, worse performance in letter-number sequencing, semantic fluency, and symbol digit modalities in patients with PD.InterpretationGenetic variations of AQP4 and subsequent alterations of glymphatic efficacy might contribute to an altered rate of cognitive decline in PD. AQP4 rs162009 is likely a novel genetic prognostic marker of glymphatic function and cognitive decline in PD.

Generalized EEG Slowing Across Phasic REM Sleep, Not Subjective RBD Severity, Predicts Neurodegeneration in Idiopathic RBD. Nat Sci Sleep 2022; 14:407-418. [PMID: 35299628 PMCID: PMC8923684 DOI: 10.2147/nss.s354063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is the prodromal marker of α-synuclein degeneration with markedly high predictive value. We aim to evaluate the value of electroencephalography (EEG) data during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and subjective RBD severity in predicting the conversion to neurodegenerative diseases in iRBD patients. METHODS At the baseline, iRBD patients underwent clinical assessment and video-polysomnography (PSG). Relative spectral power for nine frequency bands during phasic and tonic REM sleep in three regions of interest, slow-to-fast ratios, clinical and PSG variables were estimated and compared between iRBD patients who converted to neurodegenerative diseases (iRBD-C) and iRBD patients who remained disease-free (iRBD-NC). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves evaluated the predictive performance of slow-to-fast ratios, and subjective RBD severity as assessed with RBD Questionnaire-Hong Kong. RESULTS Twenty-two (33.8%) patients eventually developed neurodegenerative diseases. The iRBD-C group showed shorter total sleep time (p < 0.001), lower stage 2 sleep percentage (p = 0.044), more periodic leg-movement-related arousal index (p = 0.004), increased tonic chin electromyelographic activity (p = 0.040) and higher REM density in the third REM episode (p = 0.034) than the iRBD-NC group. EEG spectral power analyses revealed that iRBD phenoconverters showed significantly higher delta and lower alpha power, especially in central and occipital regions during the phasic REM state compared to the iRBD-NC group. Significantly higher slow-to-fast ratios were observed in a more generalized way during the phasic state in the iRBD-C group compared to the iRBD-NC group. ROC analyses of the slowing ratio in occipital areas during phasic REM sleep yielded an area under the curve of 0.749 (p = 0.001), while no significant predictive value of subjective RBD severity was observed. CONCLUSION Our study shows that EEG slowing, especially in a more generalized manner during the phasic period, may be a promising marker in predicting phenoconversion in iRBD, rather than subjective RBD severity.

Abstract
REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) could be a predictor of Parkinsonism even before development of typical motor symptoms. This study aims to characterize clinical features and corticomuscular and corticocortical coherence (CMC and CCC, respectively) during sleep in RBD patients with or without Parkinsonism. We enrolled a total of 105 subjects, including 20 controls, 54 iRBD, and 31 RBD+P patients, patients who were diagnosed as idiopathic RBD (iRBD) and RBD with Parkinsonism (RBD+P) in our neurology department. We analyzed muscle atonia index (MAI) and CMC between EEG and chin/limb muscle electromyography (EMG) and CCC during different sleep stages. Although differences in the CMC of iRBD group were observed only during REM sleep, MAI differences between groups were noted during both REM and NREM N2 stage sleep. During REM sleep, CMC was higher and MAI was reduced in iRBD patients compared to controls (p = 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively). Interestingly, MAI was more reduced in RBD+P compared to iRBD patients. In comparison, CCC was higher in iRBD patients compared to controls whereas CCC was lower in RBD+P groups compared to control and iRBD groups in various frequency bands during both NREM N2 and REM sleep stages. Among them, increased CMC during REM sleep revealed correlation between clinical severities of RBD symptoms. Our findings indicate that MAI, CMC, and CCC showed distinctive features in iRBD and RBD+P patients compared to controls, suggesting potential usefulness to understand possible links between these diseases.

Abstract
Hierarchical synchronization of sleep oscillations establishes communication pathways to support memory reactivation, transfer, and consolidation. From an information-theoretical perspective, oscillations constitute highly structured network states that provide limited information-coding capacity. Recent findings indicate that sleep oscillations occur in transient bursts that are interleaved with aperiodic network states, which were previously considered to be random noise. We argue that aperiodic activity exhibits unique and variable spatiotemporal patterns, providing an ideal information-rich neurophysiological substrate for imprinting new mnemonic patterns onto existing circuits. We discuss novel avenues in conceptualizing and quantifying aperiodic network states during sleep to further understand their relevance and interplay with sleep oscillations in support of memory consolidation.

Abstract
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is characterized by disrupting motor enactments during REM sleep, but also cognitive impairments across several domains. In addition to REM sleep abnormalities, we hypothesized that RBD patients may also display EEG abnormalities during NREM sleep. We collected all-night recordings with 256-channel high-density EEG in nine RBD patients, predominantly early-onset medicated individuals, nine sex- and age- matched healthy controls, and nine additional controls with matched medications and comorbidities. Power spectra in delta to gamma frequency bands were compared during both REM and NREM sleep, between phasic and tonic REM sleep, and between the first versus last cycle of NREM sleep. Controls, but not RBD patients, displayed a decrease in beta power during phasic compared to tonic REM sleep. Compared to controls, RBD patients displayed a reduced decline in SWA from early to late NREM sleep. Overnight changes in the distribution of the amplitude of slow waves were also reduced in RBD patients. Without suppression of beta rhythms during phasic REM sleep, RBD patients might demonstrate heightened cortical arousal, favoring the emergence of behavioral episodes. A blunted difference between REM sleep sub-stages may constitute a sensitive biomarker for RBD. Moreover, reduced overnight decline in SWA suggests a reduced capacity for synaptic plasticity in RBD patients, which may favor progression towards neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Growing evidence implicates a distinct role of disturbed slow-wave sleep in neurodegenerative diseases. Reduced non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep slow-wave activity (SWA), a marker of slow-wave sleep intensity, has been linked with age-related cognitive impairment and Alzheimer disease pathology. However, it remains debated if SWA is associated with cognition in Parkinson disease (PD). Here, we investigated the relationship of regional SWA with cognitive performance in PD. In the present study, 140 non-demented PD patients underwent polysomnography and were administered the Montréal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to screen for cognitive impairment. We performed spectral analysis of frontal, central, and occipital sleep electroencephalography (EEG) derivations to measure SWA, and spectral power in other frequency bands, which we compared to cognition using linear mixed models. We found that worse MoCA performance was associated with reduced 1–4 Hz SWA in a region-dependent manner (F2, 687 =11.67, p < 0.001). This effect was driven by reduced regional SWA in the lower delta frequencies, with a strong association of worse MoCA performance with reduced 1–2 Hz SWA (F2, 687 =18.0, p < 0.001). The association of MoCA with 1–2 Hz SWA (and 1–4 Hz SWA) followed an antero-posterior gradient, with strongest, weaker, and absent associations over frontal (rho = 0.33, p < 0.001), central (rho = 0.28, p < 0.001), and occipital derivations, respectively. Our study shows that cognitive impairment in PD is associated with reduced NREM sleep SWA, predominantly in lower delta frequencies (1–2 Hz) and over frontal regions. This finding suggests a potential role of reduced frontal slow-wave sleep intensity in cognitive impairment in PD.
