Low Blood Flow in the Brain May Be an Early Sign of Parkinson’s Disease
Cortical
blood flow abnormalities, possibly related to impaired neurogenic
control, are present in patients with isolated rapid eye movement (REM)
sleep behaviour disorder, and are associated with cognitive dysfunction,
according to a study published in the journal Brain.
“We can see complications in the small blood vessels of the brain in patients with REM sleep behaviour disorder, although these patients don’t otherwise have any symptoms and the brain doesn’t show other signs of disease,” said Simon Fristed Eskildsen, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark. “We believe that the same disease processes that cause disrupted sleep also affect the ability to control the blood flow in the brain, which can lead to a lack of oxygen in the brain tissue. Over time this will gradually break down the brain tissue and cause symptoms that we see in Parkinson’s disease.”
The study included 20 patients aged 54 to 77 years with REM sleep behaviour disorder and 25 healthy control subjects aged 58 to 76 years. The participants in the study were monitored in a sleep laboratory, where they had their EEG, EOG, EMG, and ECG measured during sleep. Patients and controls were also assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and the Mini Mental State Examination.
“The patients and the control subjects were tested cognitively and MRI scanned, and the results revealed low blood flow and flow disturbances in the small blood vessels in the brain in the patients compared with the control group,” said Nicola Pavese, Aarhus University. “In the patients, these flow disturbances seen in the cerebral cortex were associated with language comprehension, visual construction and recognition - this was also associated with reduced cognitive performance.”
The researchers will now investigate whether the reduced blood flow in the brain deteriorates over time and how it is linked to the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The hope is that it will be possible to use the method to predict the disease in patients with sleep disorders in order to then prevent the symptoms at an early stage.
