Neural correlates of attentional deficits in Parkinson ’s disease patients with mild cognitive impairment

Deficits in attentional processing observed in Parkinson ’s disease (PD) patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) increase risk of PD dementia. However, the neural basis of these attentional deficits are presently unknown. The present study aimed to explore the neural correlates of attention dysfunction in PD-MCI using the Attention Network Test (A NT) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).
