## Abstract We used the computerized Moorfield Vision System to demonstrate specific increases in various perceptual visual thresholds in idiopathic Parkinson's syndrome. Fifteen patients were compared to 13 age‐matched normals. Motion detection was impaired maximally (2p < 0.01 and better in two‐t
## Abstract Olfaction is typically impaired in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD), but its role is uncertain in monogenic PD. Diminished color discrimination has been suggested as another early sign of dopaminergic dysfunction but not been systematically studied. Furthermore, it is unknown whethe
## Abstract This study examined whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) would affect the contrast sensitivity (CS) curve in patients with PD. CS was tested in 12 nondemented PD patients treated with bilateral subthalamic nucleus DBS on and off stimulation and medications. Neither stimulation condition
