EEG evidence of posterior cortical disconnection in PD and related dementias.

TL;DR: Electroencephalogram reactivity to eyes opening and 12-Hz photic stimulation was investigated and results are consistent with a graded posterior cortical disconnection in parkinsonian syndromes and with a model of dopamine-modulated thalamocortical interplay in visual processing.

Iowa Gambling Task in patients with early-onset Parkinson’s disease: strategy analysis

TL;DR: Decision making in early-onset Parkinson’s disease patients performing the Iowa Gambling Task showed that the patients tended to change their preferences for the decks more frequently, with a higher preference for the ‘disadvantageous’ deck B.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural brain correlates of fatigue in older adults with and without Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: Fatigue in Parkinson's disease is associated with unique structural changes in the caudate and putamen suggesting fatigue in PD is primarily related to PD pathology, particularly in the dorsal striatum, and not simply a consequence of aging.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Four Square Step Test in individuals with Parkinson's disease: Association with executive function and comparison with older adults

TL;DR: Using FSST in the clinic may help assess the health status of a motor-cognitive interaction in individuals with PD, and the obstacle-based FSST is feasible and reliable in those with PD.

TL;DR: The combined clinimetric results of this study support the validity of the MDS‐UPDRS for rating PD.

Colonic inflammation in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: Findings provide evidence that enteric inflammation occurs in Parkinson's disease and further reinforce the role of peripheral inflammation in the initiation and/or the progression of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of pedunculopontine nucleus area stimulation on gait disorders in Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: Although freezing of gait can be improved by low-frequency electrical stimulation of the pedunculopontine nucleus area in some patients with Parkinson's disease, the overall results are disappointing compared to the high levels of expectation raised by previous open label studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Clinically Important Difference on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale

TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-sectional analysis of the CIDs for UPDRS total and motor scores was performed on patients with Parkinson disease (PD) using distribution-and anchor-based approaches based on the following external standards: disability (10% on the Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living Scale), disease stage (1 stage on the Hoehn and Yahr Scale), and quality of life (1 SD on the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey).
