Decision Making under Risk Condition in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease: A Behavioural and fMRI Study by Kirsten Labudda, Matthias Brand, Markus Mertens, Isabelle Ollech, Hans J. Markowitsch, Friedrich G. Woermann

“…We aimed to study whether previously described impairment in decision making under risky conditions in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) is affected by deficits in using information about potential incentives or by processing feedback (in terms of fictitious gains and losses following each decision). Additionally, we studied whether the neural correlates of using explicit information in decision making under risk differ between PD patients and healthy subjects. …”
