Abstract
The present study provides in vivo evidence suggesting that structural lesions of the brain stem are responsible for the occurrence of iRBD. In addition, the pattern of gray matter loss is consistent with morphological changes commonly observed in patients with Lewy body disease and multiple system atrophy, indicating that iRBD can share a common morphological abnormality with alpha-synucleinopathies.
