Why does antidepressant use protect against synucleinopathy conversion in RBD patients?

OPEN

The study found that nonuse of antidepressants was associated with 3.5x higher risk of neurodegeneration, but the protective mechanism is unexplained. Understanding this could reveal novel neuroprotective pathways and inform therapeutic strategies.
