So, what did we learn from this study?
Our question was, which networks are affected when a brain injury causes REM sleep behavior disorder? Or, in other words, what areas of the brain are part of a "team" within the brain that includes the injured area?
We found that the areas highlighted in green tend to be ACTIVE when the injured area of the brain is active. Some green areas are responsible for sleep (Basinger & Hogg, 2022).
Additionally, the areas highlighted in red tend to be INACTIVE when the injured area of the brain is active. Some red areas are responsible for motor control, so it would make sense that they would generally be inactive during sleep (Yip & Lui, 2022).
Still confused? I would love to answer any questions you may have in person!
