Summary

This study follows 640 participants—including people with Parkinsonism, those with REM sleep behavior disorder, and healthy volunteers—for 5 years. Researchers will use brain scans, movement tests, voice analysis, and other tools to track how the disease progresses and improve diagnosis. The goal is to better understand the condition and find early signs of Parkinsonism.
