Single photon emission computed tomography was used to measure regional cerebral blood flow in six normal subjects and 12 patients with Parkinson's disease, before and after acute oral administration of levodopa. The drug induced a significant increase in cerebral blood flow both in controls and pat
## Abstract Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a rare syndrome characterised by an asymmetrical rigidity with localised cortical signs, particularly apraxia. Using positron emission tomography, abnormal patterns of cortical metabolism have recently been shown. We have studied patterns of regional c
