Saccadic latency in Parkinson's disease correlates with executive function and brain atrophy, but not motor severity

Saccadic latency in Parkinson's disease correlates with executive function and brain atrophy, but not motor severity

Brain regions related to saccadic control are affected by Parkinson's disease (PD) pathology and a relationship between abnormal saccades and cognitive features of PD has been suggested. We measured the latency of visually-evoked saccades, and correlated best-fit parameters in a LATER neuronal...
