gamma-aminobutyric acid and REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

gamma-aminobutyric acid has been researched along with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder in 7 studies

gamma-Aminobutyric Acid: The most common inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
gamma-aminobutyric acid : A gamma-amino acid that is butanoic acid with the amino substituent located at C-4.

REM Sleep Behavior Disorder: A disorder characterized by episodes of vigorous and often violent motor activity during REM sleep (SLEEP, REM). The affected individual may inflict self injury or harm others, and is difficult to awaken from this condition. Episodes are usually followed by a vivid recollection of a dream that is consistent with the aggressive behavior. This condition primarily affects adult males. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p393)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Conversely, cataplexy, one of the key symptoms of narcolepsy, is a striking sudden episode of muscle weakness triggered by emotions during wakefulness, and comparable to REM sleep atonia."2.47The neuronal network responsible for paradoxical sleep and its dysfunctions causing narcolepsy and rapid eye movement (REM) behavior disorder. ( Clément, O; Fort, P; Gervasoni, D; Léger, L; Luppi, PH; Peyron, C; Salvert, D; Sapin, E, 2011)
"It is hard to define what ratio of insomnia and daytime hypersomnia is caused by the antiparkinsonian treatment, by the somatic and mental-emotional symptoms of the neurodegenerative disease and by the neurodegenerative brain process itself."2.44[Sleep disorders in Parkinson syndromes].
