Impaired Visuospatial Transformation but Intact Sequence Processing in Parkinson Disease

Conclusions:We argue that visuospatial deficits in PD result from impairments to spatial transformation routines involved in the computation of mappings between spatial locations. These routines are mediated by dopaminergic pathways linking the basal ganglia, prefrontal cortex, supplementary motor area, and parietal cortex.
