Excerpt

Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients often develop mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) and dementia (PDD) [5, 8]. The pathologic substrate for PDD appears to be heterogeneous and includes Lewy bodies, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology, and cerebrovascular disease [6, 7, 9, 10]. Neuropathological changes in PD-MCI have not been described. …
