Sex, dopamine, and hypokinesia: A study of inflectional morphology in Parkinson’s disease.

Conclusions: The results suggest that language is impaired in PD, but the impairments are moderated by multiple factors, including the type of linguistic knowledge, the degree of left basal ganglia degeneration, dopamine, and sex. The findings underscore the impact of sex on the neurocognition of language and the roles of left basal ganglia dopaminergic circuits in aspects of rule-governed grammar.
