Approximately 25% of Parkinson’s patients experience visual hallucinations, which can become more common in the later stages of the disease.
A recent study published in the journal Brain reveals that these hallucinations are associated with a marked deficiency of cholinergic activity in specific regions of the brain, particularly the left ventral visual stream and the superior temporal lobe.
Emile d’Angremont's long-term goal is to personalize Parkinson care.
He hopes to use a biomarker, such as the PET tracer, to identify patients who will benefit from treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors.
The study, “ Cholinergic deficiency in Parkinson’s disease patients with visual hallucinations,” was authored.
