Dementia in Parkinson's disease (PDD) is a frequent and distressing complication with major consequences. Clinical and pathological features closely link PDD and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), suggesting they represent part of the same disease spectrum. Although dopaminergic deficiency primarily d

This review examines the frequency of depression complicating Parkinson's disease (PD), its aetiology and clinical features, and also how it may be recognised and treated. Studies investigating the frequency of depression in PD have yielded figures ranging between 2.7% and 70%. Methodological differ
## Abstract We aimed to assess whether allelic variants of dopamine receptor, glutamate receptor, and serotonin transporter genes are associated with the appearance of impulse control and related behaviors (ICRB) in Parkinson's disease (PD) with dopamine replacement therapy (DRT). We surveyed ICRB
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) has recently been proposed as an aetiological factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD): ApoE is co-localized to amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain and binds to AP-protein in vitvo. An association of ApoE e4 allele with the development of AD has been reported.
