The Contribution of the Cerebellum to Cognition in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 6 by Freya E. Cooper, Manon Grube, Kelly J. Elsegood, John L. Welch, Thomas P. Kelly, Patrick F. Chinnery, Timothy D. Griffiths

“…The results demonstrate an executive deficit due to SCA-6 that can be conceptualised as parallel to the motor difficulties suffered by these patients: the data support a role for the cerebellum in the regulation and coordination of cognitive, as well as motor processes that is relevant to individual performance.…”

Dermatological Manifestations and Sebum Composition in Parkinson’s Disease by Meshi Paz, Peter Lio

“… Introduction Parkinson disease (PD) is a multifaceted neurodegenerative disorder known for its hallmark motor symptoms. However, nonmotor manifestations, specifically dermatological changes, precede motor symptoms and may thus serve as vital early indicators of PD. …”

Differential Effects of Dopaminergic Therapies on Dorsal and Ventral Striatum in Parkinson's Disease: Implications for Cognitive Function by Penny A. MacDonald, Oury Monchi

“…Cognitive abnormalities are a feature of Parkinson's disease (PD). Unlike motor symptoms that are clearly improved by dopaminergic therapy, the effect of dopamine replacement on cognition seems paradoxical. …”
