Understanding Cognitive Decline in RBD: Dr. Youssef Khattab Presents New NAPS Evidence

At the National Academy of Neuropsychology Conference in Los Angeles, Dr. Youssef Khattab, Research Coordinator at OHSU, presented new NAPS data titled “Quantifying cognitive change across one year in RBD: Initial follow-up of the NAPS Consortium study.”

Researchers studied over 100 people with RBD and found that tracking neuropsychological changes over a year may help spot early signs of cognitive decline, as well as identify people who are more resilient.

These insights could lead to better counseling, more personalized care plans based on which cognitive skills are affected, and improved clinical trial design for RBD.
