Unimpaired negative but enhanced positive priming in Parkinson's disease: evidence from an identity and a location priming task

Abstract

Mechanisms of selective attention are frequently reported to be impaired in Parkinson's disease (PD). Fundamental to selective attention is attending to relevant information and, concurrently, ignoring irrelevant information. Both processes can be assessed by positive priming (PP) and negative priming (NP) tasks, respectively. Unlike previous studies, in the present experiment, two separate identity- and location-based priming tasks were applied to 48 PD patients and 48 sex- and age-matched healthy controls. Results indicated that identity and location PP were reliably enhanced in PD patients compared to controls. Both groups showed significant location NP of almost identical magnitude but no identity NP. However, there was evidence for a positive functional relationship between severity of bradykinesia and identity NP. Furthermore, with increasing depression scores, location NP was enhanced in PD patients but not in controls. These findings suggest that disturbed selective attention associated with PD is due to changed mechanisms mediating attention to relevant information rather than due to mechanisms involved in inhibition of irrelevant information.

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.

Basal ganglia in Parkinson's disease (MDS)

The basal ganglia is comprised of the neostriatum, the external and internal pallidal segments, the subthalamic nucleus, the substantia nigra pars reticulata, and the pars compacta of the substantia nigra. The basal ganglia circuitry is responsible for the correct execution of voluntary movements and is implicated in Parkinson's disease. Here is the latest research investigating the basal ganglia in Parkinson's disease.
