Cortical cholinergic function is more severely affected in parkinsonian dementia than in Alzheimer disease: an in vivo positron emission tomographic study.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used positron emission tomography (PET) to determine in vivo cortical acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in healthy control subjects and in patients with mild AD, PDem, and Parkinson disease without dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cholinergic System and Parkinson Disease

TL;DR: Early cholinergic denervation in PD without dementia appears to be heterogeneous and may make specific contributions to the PD clinical phenotype, apart from well-known cognitive and behavioral deficits, central, in particular limbic, cholinerg denervation may be associated with progressive deficits of odor identification in PD.

Cortical Cholinergic Function Is More Severely Affected in Parkinsonian Dementia Than in Alzheimer Disease

TL;DR: Reduced cortical AChE activity is more characteristic of patients with PDem than of Patients with mild AD, and this work has shown that cholinergic forebrain neuronal losses in parkinsonian dementia are equal to or greater than those in Alzheimer disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

History of falls in Parkinson disease is associated with reduced cholinergic activity

TL;DR: Unlike nigrostriatal dopaminergic denervation, cholinergic hypofunction is associated with fall status in Parkinson disease (PD), consistent with other data indicating that PPN degeneration is a major factor leading to impaired postural control and gait dysfunction in PD.
