The session will also address current and emerging approaches to diagnosis and management, with a focus on both established and novel screening tools and therapeutic strategies. In addition, speakers will examine advances in the identification and evaluation of REM Sleep Behavior Disorder, an important condition with implications for neurodegenerative disease risk.
