Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & PsychiatryThe `subcortical dementia' of progressive supranuclear palsy
874 Citations1974Martin L. Albert, Robert G. Feldman +1 more
It is proposed as a tentative hypothesis that there may be common pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the subcortical dementias—in particular, disturbances of timing and activation.
Brain‘FRONTAL’ COGNITIVE FUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE ‘ON’AND ‘OFF’ LEVODOPA
838 Citations1988A.-M. Gotham, Richard G. Brown +1 more
The results suggest that different areas of prefrontal cortex are involved in the tasks employed, and that functional levels of dopamine in separate areas of cortex and caudate may differ crucially in Parkinson's disease.
BrainCOGNITIVE DEFICITS IN THE EARLY STAGES OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE
798 Citations1983Andrew J. Lees, Eileen Smith
Patients with Parkinson's disease had significantly greater difficulty in shifting conceptual sets and produced more perseverative errors on both the modified Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and Benton's Word Fluency Test, suggesting subtle cognitive difficulties might underlie the mental inflexibility and rigidity of Parkinson's Disease.
BrainREACTION TIME IN PARKINSON'S DISEASE
510 Citations1981Edward V. Evarts, H. Teräväinen +1 more
MT is more useful than RT as an objective indicator of therapeutic efficacy, but further studies of RT (with tests requiring programming of displacement, velocity, and accuracy) may provide insights into the nature of the central motor disorder in Parkinson's disease.
New England Journal of MedicinePsychosocial Status in Chronic Illness
507 Citations1984Barrie R. Cassileth, Edward J. Lusk +5 more
The results suggest that psychological adaptation among patients with chronic illnesses is remarkably effective and fundamentally independent of specific diagnosis.
BrainREMOTE MEMORY FUNCTION IN ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND PARKINSON'S DISEASE
236 Citations1988H. J. Sagar, Neal J. Cohen +3 more
The results suggest that dementia affects the recall of distant events less than recall of recent ones, and the selective gradient effects in recall of content suggest that memory for date is served by cognitive processes independent of memory for event content.
Archives of General PsychiatryPsychomotor Activity in Affective States
183 Citations1974David J. Kupfer
Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & PsychiatrySmoking and Parkinson's disease.
178 Citations1982R B Godwin-Austen, Peter Lee +2 more
PubMedNeuropsychological and power spectral EEG investigations of the obsessive-compulsive syndrome.
168 Citations1979Pierre Flor-Henry, Lorne T. Yeudall +2 more
The finding of predominantly left frontal dysfunction in the obsessional syndrome is discussed in the light of neurophysiological and psychosurgical evidence which suggest that perturbation of the cingulate-orbital frontal connections modulates obsessive-compulsive symptomatology.
CortexHigh Speed Memory Scanning in Parkinsonism
143 Citations1980Robert S. Wilson, Alfred W. Kaszniak +2 more
It is suggested that at least one cognitive function, the scanning of elements held in short term memory, is slowed in parkinsonism, which is seen primarily in elderly parkinsonian patients.
NeuropsychologiaThe performance on learning tasks of patients in the early stages of Parkinson's disease
136 Citations1989A.G.M. Canavan, R.E. Passingham +4 more
Patients in the early stages of Parkinson's disease were tested on two associative learning tasks and on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task; and their performance was compared with that of patients with frontal or temporal lobe lesions.
Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & PsychiatryThe pre-morbid personality of patients with Parkinson's disease.
132 Citations1985Cecil Todes, Andrew J. Lees
A review of the extensive descriptive literature suggests that many Parkinsonian patients exhibit an emotional and attitudinal inflexibility, a lack of affect and a predisposition to depressive illness, which may antecede the development of motor abnormalities by several decades.
Behaviour Research and TherapyCognitive dysfunction in compulsive checkers: Further explorations
131 Citations1984Kenneth J. Sher, Bart Mann +1 more
A complete understanding of checking phenomena will involve an appreciation of the role played by memory deficits, as demonstrated by the reasons for these checking-related deficits not clear.
The British Journal of PsychiatryElongation of Pause-Time in Speech: A Simple, Objective Measure of Motor Retardation in Depression
121 Citations1976E. Szabadi, C. M. Bradshaw +1 more
It is concluded that the simple test described here may reveal a degree of motor retardation in cases where other tests fail to do so.
Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & PsychiatryRecognition memory in Parkinson's disease.
118 Citations1984Kenneth A. Flowers, I Pearce +1 more
On four tests of visual recognition memory Parkinsonian patients obtained normal scores, both immediately and after a delay, and resembled controls closely in nearly all characteristics of memory.
Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & PsychiatryPsychomotor slowing and subcortical-type dysfunction in depression.
94 Citations1987Robert P. Hart, J. Kwentus
Elderly patients with major depression and normal controls completed the Sternberg short-term memory scanning procedure and WAIS Digit Symbol, and depressed patients demonstrated psychomotor slowing on both tasks, but normal response latency as a function of memory set size on the Sternber procedure.
NeurologyNeuropsychological disturbances in hemiparkinson's disease
94 Citations1987Sergio Starkstein, R. Leiguarda +2 more
Mild but significant intergroup differences were observed, tending to correlate with predominantly hemispheric functional deficits.
Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & PsychiatryMONOAMINES NOYAUX GRIS CENTRAUX ET SYNDROME DE PARKINSON
93 Citations1975C. D. Marsden
Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & PsychiatryA study of facial expression in Parkinson's disease using a novel microcomputer-based method.
84 Citations1988Mary Katsikitis, I. Pilowsky
Psychosomatic MedicineFacial Electromyography in the Assessment of Improvement in Depression
67 Citations1978Gary E. Schwartz, Paul L. Fair +4 more
Findings support Darwin's 1872 hypothesis concerning the role of the “grief” muscle in depression and psychophysiological recording of patterns of facial muscle activity may have value in the clinical assessment of depression and treatment effects.
The British Journal of PsychiatryThe Validity of Actometer and Speech Activity Measures in the Assessment of Depressed Patients

Canadian Psychiatric Association JournalSpeed in Test Performance in Relation to Depressive Illness and Age <sup/>
26 Citations1972T. E. Weckowicz, Richard W. Nutter +2 more
It was found that even when the groups were equated on the level of education, depressed and older subjects tended to perform more poorly than controls on speed tests, confirming the hypothesis that power and speed tests load on separate factors.
PubMedBiological markers of melancholia and reclassification of depressive disorders.
18 Citations1982Greden Jf
Pathophysiological markers of melancholia are being developed in four major areas: 1) neuroendocrine; 2) sleep; 3) psychomotor and 4) biochemical.
Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & PsychiatryCigarette smoking, Parkinson's disease and ulcerative colitis.
16 Citations1987Katalin Bihari, Andrew J. Lees
Sir: Individuals who develop Parkinson's disease are about twice as likely to have been habitual non-smokers when compared with a control population, and smoking also seems to exert considerable protective effects against ulcerative colitis.
PubMedClinical similarities and differences between Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
12 Citations1987H. J. Sagar
A clearer analysis of the underlying brain-behaviour relationships is necessary to advance the understanding of the origin of cognitive and motor impairment and its treatment.
