  • Dementia: The paper mentions dementia in the context of Parkinson's disease, discussing how Lewy pathology, which includes the formation of Lewy bodies, is associated with dementia in Parkinson's disease.
  • Sleep and insomnia: The paper extensively discusses sleep disturbances, including insomnia, in patients with Parkinson's disease, exploring the potential molecular mechanisms and the role of melatonin in these disturbances.
  • Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the impact of Parkinson's disease on cognitive function, particularly in relation to sleep disturbances and the role of various neurotransmitter systems.
  • Aging: The paper discusses Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the elderly population, and its impact on sleep and cognitive function.
  • Mood regulation: The paper discusses the role of melatonin, a hormone that significantly modulates mood state, in the context of sleep disturbances in Parkinson's disease.
  • Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, in the regulation of sleep and mood in Parkinson's disease.
