[Abstract] Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder is a parasomnia characterized by the loss of physiological muscle atonia in REM sleep, which is also accompanied by nightmares and violent or frightening active behaviors during dreaming. RBD can be an independent disease, and also frequently occur in α-synucleinopathies. However, the exact pathophysiological mechanism underlying it occurrence is not clear. With the development of imaging technology, increasing studies found the dysfunction of pons and substantia nigra striatum. In this paper, we reviewed the main magnetic resonance imaging studies in recent years.
