Circulatory levels of BDNF correlate with cognitive deficits in people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of serum BDNF levels with cognitive function. Background: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is essential…Retrieval action verbs is impaired in Parkinson´s disease patients using a sentence completion task
Objective: Our aim is to investigate if action verb retrieval is impaired, compared to sensorial verbs using a sentence completion task in non-demented Parkinson´s Disease…Neuro-cognitive domain related to conversion of Parkinson’s disease dementia
Objective: To identify neurocognitive domain and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subtype associated with conversion from non-demented patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and PD-MCI to dementia…Investigating the relationship between reaction time and cognition in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To test the hypothesis that simple reaction time (SRT) is associated with global cognition in Parkinson's disease (PD) after controlling for motor function. Background:…A proposed Parkinson’s disease neuropsychological battery (PNB)
Objective: To propose a neuropsychological battery for assessing cognitive abilities in Parkinson's disease (PD) that also fulfills proposed MDS diagnostic criteria for PD mild cognitive…How does cognition affect reaching in Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: To explore differences in kinematic parameters of reach in those with Parkinson's disease (PD) classified into normal cognition (PD-NC), mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) and…Visual hallucinations may serve as a possible predictor for Parkinson’s disease dementia
Objective: To observe whether visual hallucinations serve as a predictor of Parkinson's disease dementia. Background: Visual hallucinations (VH) is one of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's…Assessment of humor in Parkinson’s disease and the effect of deep brain stimulation
Objective: To assess humor perception in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients by comparison to a matched sample of healthy controls (HC), and to investigate the effects…Effects of a 12-week exercise program on cognition in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week vigorous exercise program to improve primarily cognition and secondarily motor function and quality of life in patients…Executive function and verbal fluency in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine whether the phonemic verbal fluency test is a purely cognitive measure or involves cognitive-motor interaction, if related to TMT. Background: Two of…
