    Cholinergic basal forebrain degeneration is linked to cognitive impairment and motor symptoms in Lewy body disorders.

  • 2

    Patients with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder show significant reduction in Ch4 volumes compared to healthy controls.

  • 3

    Ch4 volume reduction correlates with changes in limbic and neocortical regions, impacting clinical symptoms.

  • 4

    Ch1–3 volume reduction is associated with higher dementia incidence and faster memory impairment progression.

  • 5

    The study highlights the importance of cholinergic degeneration in understanding prodromal phases of Lewy body disorders.
