Early Hallucinations in Parkinson’s Tied to Faster Cognitive Decline

Early hallucinations in Parkinson's disease patients might signal a faster cognitive decline. Through comprehensive neuropsychological interviews and electroencephalography measurements, researchers were able to link minor hallucinations, typically underreported, to more rapid deterioration of frontal executive function in subsequent years.

Predicting Dementia in Parkinson’s: EEG Might Hold the Key

Data from a single EEG electrode might predict cognitive decline, including dementia, in patients with Parkinson's disease. Researchers discovered that reduced strength of specific low-frequency brain waves, known as delta and theta waves, was strongly linked to cognitive dysfunction in these patients.
