BackgroundCholinergic nucleus 4 (Ch4) degeneration is associated with cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, but it is unknown if Ch4 degeneration is also present in isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD).ObjectiveThe aim was to determine if there is evidence of Ch4 degeneration in patients with iRBD and if it is associated with cognitive impairment.MethodsWe analyzed the clinical and neuropsychological data of 35 iRBD patients and 35 age‐ and sex‐matched healthy controls. Regional gray matter density (GMD) was calculated for Ch4 using probabilistic maps applied to brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).ResultsCh4 GMD was significantly lower in the iRBD group compared to controls (0.417 vs. 0.441,P= 0.02). Ch4 GMD was also found to be a significant predictor of letter number sequencing (β‐coefficient = 58.31,P= 0.026, 95% confidence interval [7.47, 109.15]), a measure of working memory.ConclusionsiRBD is associated with Ch4 degeneration, and Ch4 degeneration in iRBD is associated with impairment in working memory. © 2023 The Authors.Movement Disorderspublished by Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
