Cognition Biomarkers, 2013[18F]flubatine: A Novel Biomarker of Cognition in Parkinson's Disease
Objective/Rationale:
Mild cognitive impairment and dementia are frequent symptoms of moderate to advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD). Brain positron emission tomography (PET) study findings confirm post... -
Cognitive Deficits and Mood Disorders in Parkinson's Disease, 2008Cognitive Decline in Parkinson's Disease
Objective/Rationale:
There are many studies on cognitive and behavioral alterations in Parkinson’s disease, but each of these investigations brought only a small piece of a large puzzle. Consequently... -
Defining Cognitive Phenotypes of Parkinson's Disease, 2011Cognitive Phenotypes in Parkinson's Disease: Anatomical and Functional Correlates
Objective/Rationale:
Cognitive impairment with and without dementia is frequent in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, there is a high heterogeneity in the clinical presentation of these cognitive... -
Defining Cognitive Phenotypes of Parkinson’s Disease, 2011Development of Multimodal Imaging Biomarkers for Cognitive Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease
Objective/Rationale:
By the time a person with Parkinson’s disease (PD) meets diagnostic criteria for dementia, the brain has already been ravaged. Unfortunately, current clinical, neuropsychological... -
Defining Cognitive Phenotypes of Parkinson’s Disease, 2011Bioanatomical Phenotype of Parkinson's Disease With and Without Cognitive Impairment
Objective/Rationale:
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia are common in Parkinson’s disease. However, presently, it is difficult to recognize which aspects of cognitive changes are... -
Cognitive Deficits and Mood Disorders in Parkinson's Disease, 2008Neuroimaging Markers Predict Cognitive Decline in PD
