## Abstract To unveil cognitive‐nigrostriatal correlations in Parkinson's disease (PD), 30 de novo, drug‐naïve PD patients and 15 patients with essential tremor (Controls, CTR) underwent a neuropsychological (NPS) battery and brain SPECT with [I‐123]Ioflupane, as a biomarker of nigrostriatal functi
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate cortical dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with amnestic deficit (PD‐MCI). Perfusion single photon emission computed tomography was performed in 15 PD‐MCI patients and compared (statistical parametric mapping [SPM2]) with three
## Abstract ## Background: Substantia nigra hyperechogenicity assessed by transcranial sonography is a typical finding in up to 90% of patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease, although its value as a surrogate marker for disease progression in Parkinson's disease is controversial. ^123^I‐FP‐C
## Abstract There is debate over the cognitive and behavioral effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). To evaluate these effects, we performed a prospective, naturalistic controlled, 3‐year follow‐up study. A total of 65 PD patie
