## Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) patients show a range of executive deficits involving dopaminergic transmission in the prefrontal cortex. In this study, we have investigated the impact of catecholโ€Oโ€methylโ€transferase (COMT) val^158^met polymorphisms on performance of the Tower of London (TOL)
