[Insomnia and memory. Apropos of a case of striato-nigral degeneration].
Sleep and memory were investigated in a well educated patient suffering from striato-nigral degeneration. Despite almost total insomnia (only 591 min of stages 1 and 2, without any stage 3, 4 or paradoxical sleep during a continuous 4 day recording) it was not possible to objectify significant short or long term memory impairment.
