Impairment in different cognitive domains such as executive functions, language, memory, and visuospatial skills occurs frequently in Parkinson disease (PD) even in the early stages of the disease. Although frank dementia (Parkinson disease dementia, PDD) is less frequent, risk for developing dementia is two to six times greater than the prevalence rate in general population and it increases in relation to disease duration. Clinically, dementia in PD is characterized by uninsidious onset and…

There is a general agreement of a cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical abnormality underlying the clinical manifestations in PD, and motor deficits in PD have been traditionally associated with a dysregulation of the cortical control of subcortical circuits.

The concurrent presence of abnormally deposited αSyn, amyloid-β and tau proteins in the PDD brain and the interaction of these molecules in a linked pathological cascade of AD and PD-related mechanisms may prove important in determining the underlying pathological process for the development of dementia in PD.

Dementia in PD is typically characterized by a progressive dysexecutive syndrome with attentional deficits and fluctuating cognition, often accompanied by psychotic symptoms, thought to be the result of a combination of both subcortical and cortical changes.

Recent evidence suggests that LB‐type degeneration in limbic structures and cerebral cortex, with consequent synaptic and cell loss, is the main pathological state associated with dementia in PD.

The results indicate dissociation of cognition and motor control in early PD which suggests that cognitive dysfunction is largely independent of frontostriatal dopamine deficiency underlying motor disability, and the pathogenesis of the cognitive deficits shown here appears to involve extrastiatal dopamine systems or non-dopaminergic pathology.

In Parkinson's but not Alzheimer's disease the decrease in neocortical (particularly temporal) choline acetyltransferase correlated with the number of neurons in the nucleus of Meynert suggesting that primary degeneration of these cholinergic neurons may be related, directly or indirectly, to declining cognitive function in Parkinson's disease.
