?In patients with Agrypnia Excitata with fatal familial insomnia (AE-FFI), oscillatory EEG rhythms appear during "pseudosleep" and during atypical REM sleep.?Episodes of arousal-related motor behavioral episodes (AMBEs) with and without clearly elaborated behaviors, such as REM Behavior Disorder, constitute an intriguing finding without a known mechanism.?Spinal cord involvement should be added to the manifestations of thalamo-limbic-brainstem disconnection.?AMBEs can be incorporated into the context of motor abnormalities observed in FFI and other prionopathies.
