Only a few studies focused on NREM sleep EEG features in RBD (Ferini-Strambi et al., 2019). However, recent findings underlined the importance of NREM sleep in protecting aging brain from degeneration and cognitive decline (Cordone et al., 2019), with a specific focus on slow wave sleep (SWS) in counteracting accumulation of beta-amyloid (Xie et al., 2013).

Abnormalities of resting-state EEG in patients with prodromal and overt dementia with Lewy bodies: Relation to clinical symptoms

Objective: Here we tested if cortical sources of resting state electroencephalographic (rsEEG) rhythms may differ in sub-groups of patients with prodromal and overt dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) as a function of relevant clinical symptoms. Methods: We extracted clinical, demographic and rsEEG datasets in matched DLB patients (N = 60) and control Alzheimer's disease (AD, N = 60) and healthy elderly (Nold, N = 60) seniors from our international database. The eLORETA freeware was used to estimate cortical rsEEG sources.
