abstract = {Cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD) is often
attributed to dopamine deficiency in the prefrontal-basal
ganglia–thalamo-cortical loops. Although recent studies
point to a close interplay between motor and cognitive
abilities in PD, the so-called “motor loop” connecting
supplementary motor area (SMA) and putamen has been
considered solely with regard to the patients' motor
impairment. Our study challenges this view by testing
patients with the serial prediction task (SPT), a cognitive
task that requires participants to predict stimulus
sequences and particularly engages premotor sites of the
motor loop. We hypothesised that affection of the motor loop
causes impaired SPT performance, especially when the
internal sequence representation is challenged by suspension
of external stimuli. As shown for motor tasks, we further
expected this impairment to be compensated by hyperactivity
of the lateral premotor cortex (PM).We tested 16 male PD
patients ON and OFF dopaminergic medication and 16 male
age-matched healthy controls in an functional Magnetic
Resonance Imaging study. All subjects performed two versions
of the SPT: one with on-going sequences (SPT0), and one with
sequences containing non-informative wildcards (SPT+)
increasing the demands on mnemonic sequence representation.
Patients ON (compared to controls) revealed an impaired
performance coming along with hypoactivity of SMA and
putamen. Patients OFF compared to ON medication, while
showing poorer performance, exhibited a significantly
increased PM activity for SPT+ vs. SPT0. Furthermore,
patients' performance positively co-varied with PM activity,
corroborating a compensatory account. Our data reveal a
contribution of the motor loop to cognitive impairment in
PD, and suggest a close interplay of SMA and PM beyond motor
control.},
