Abstract. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder assumed to involve dierent areas of CNS and PNS. In PD patients and in primates with experimental Parkinsonism indicating that retinal dopamine deciency is an important factor in the pathogenesis of PD visual dysfunction. Visual signs and symptoms of PD may include defects in eye movement, pupillary function, and in more complex visual tasks. In this study, we evaluated the areas involved in visual cortex in PD by diusion tensor imaging to assess the structural change in PD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
