Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson's Disease

Cognitive impairment is considered as essential feature of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). It is a result of underlying pathological processes in the brain of PD patients and it leads to decreased quality of life. In this thesis an analysis of the structure and profile of cognitive impairment is presented with special emphasis on executive functions and memory. We take diagnostic entities developed for the description of PD cognitive spectrum such as mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) and dementia (PD-D) as examples of heterogeneity and different severity of cognitive impairment in PD. However, neuropsychological methods in Czech version that would measure these diagnotic units were not adequatly validated. In the experimental part we test a hypothesis, if gait disorder with falls in PD is interconnected with cognitive impairment, and if PD-fallers have more severe cognitive deficit than PD-non-fallers. On the basis of nine validity or normative data studies we show psychometric properties and clinical utility of several basic neuropsychological methods in the Czech population for memory (Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, California Verbal Learning Test, Second Edition, Memory For Intentions Screening Test and Enhanced Cued Recall Test), sustained attention and executive functions..

Tower of London test — short version

Tower of London (ToL) is a neuropsychological method for assessing planning ability. In this study, we attempted to introduce a shorter version of ToL. Two studies were carried out. In Study 1, patients with mild cognitive impairment due to Parkinson’s Disease (n = 36) and a control group (n = 225) were included in order to select a suitable short version of ToL for Study 2. In Study 2, patients with schizophrenia (n = 30) and a control group (n = 31) were included in order to assess psychometric properties of the shortened version of ToL. Based on psychometric evaluations in Study 1, we offered three possible shortened versions. In Study 2, all three shortened versions proved to have good discriminative validity in our schizophrenia sample, but interestingly not in the healthy sample. We concluded that the use of shortened ToL is possible in specific psychiatric/neurological patient groups, although we do not recommend doing so in healthy individuals

Vision after 53 Years of Blindness

Several studies have shown that visual recovery after blindness that occurs early in life is never complete. The current study investigated whether an extremely long period of blindness might also cause a permanent impairment of visual performance, even in a case of adult-onset blindness. We examined KP, a 71-year-old man who underwent a successful sight-restoring operation after 53 years of blindness. A set of psychophysical tests designed to assess KP's face perception, object recognition, and visual space perception abilities were conducted six months and eight months after the surgery. The results demonstrate that regardless of a lengthy period of normal vision and rich pre-accident perceptual experience, KP did not fully integrate this experience, and his visual performance remained greatly compromised. This was particularly evident when the tasks targeted finer levels of perceptual processing. In addition to the decreased robustness of his memory representations, which was hypothesized as the main factor determining visual impairment, other factors that may have affected KP's performance were considered, including compromised visual functions, problems with perceptual organization, deficits in the simultaneous processing of visual information, and reduced cognitive abilities
