Dementia in Parkinson's disease is related to neuronal loss in the medial substantia nigra

Abstract

Regional neuronal loss in the substantia nigra was studied in relation to extrapyramidal symptoms and dementia in 12 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease(PD) and in 18 control subjects. Four areas of the right substantia nigra were investigated at the level of the superior colliculus and caudal red nucleus. In Parkinson's disease, the percentages of neurons, from the medial to the lateral part of the substantia nigra, were reduced to 49°, 31°, 41°, and 25° of the control values. The number of neurons in the lateral part showed a negative correlation with the severity of rigidity and hypokinesia, whereas tremor was less noticeable in patients with few neurons. The degree of dementia of the patients had a significant correlation only with neuronal loss in the medial part of the substantia nigra, suggesting, in view of the topographical organization of the neurons in the substantia nigra, that intact projections to the caudate nucleus and limbic and cortical areas are a prerequisite for normal cognitive functioning and that their dysfunction leads to clinical dementia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
