Corticostriatal beta oscillation changes associated with cognitive function in Parkinson's disease.

ABSTRACT: Cognitive impairment is the most frequent non-motor symptom in Parkinson's disease and is associated with deficits in a number of cognitive functions including working memory. However, the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease cognitive impairment is poorly understood. Beta oscillations have previously been shown to play an important role in cognitive functions including working memory encoding. Decreased dopamine in motor cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) circuits increases the spectral power of beta oscillations and results in Parkinson's disease motor symptoms. Analogous changes in parallel cognitive CSTC circuits involving the caudate and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) may contribute to Parkinson's disease cognitive impairment. The objective of our study is to evaluate w
