The aim of this work is to better understand the causes of variability between individuals.
Who can take part?
We are inviting people from the following groups who are aged 35-75 years and able to undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging:
- Individuals with no major neurological or psychiatric illnesses

- REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder, diagnosed using an overnight sleep study
What is involved?

Each visit lasting a maximum of four hours, and assess medical history, health and brain function. Two of the visits would involve an hour-long MRI scan and give a small blood sample.
