Even the simplest of human actions can, upon close examination, prove remarkably complex. The compulsive and punding behaviors in Parkinson's disease (PD), reported in this issue by Evans and colleagues 1 and by Kurlan 2 exemplify such complexity. In their divergent views on the phenomenology and et

Abstract
Antiparkinson therapy can be the primary cause of a range of nonmotor symptoms that include a set of complex disinhibitory psychomotor pathologies and are linked by their repetitive, reward or incentiveβbased natures. These behaviors relate to aberrant or excessive dopamine receptor stimulation and encompass impulse control disorders (ICDs), punding, and the dopamine dysregulation syndrome (DDS). Common ICDs include pathological gambling, hypersexuality, compulsive eating, and compulsive buying. This review focuses on the phenomenology, epidemiology, and methods to identify and rate these disorders. The management of dopaminergic drugβrelated compulsive behaviors is discussed in the light of the current understanding of the neurobiological substrate of these disorders.
