Extract

Parkinsonism is generally considered to be essentially a disturbance of motor function, yet it is frequently accompanied, according to some writers (Hughes, 1961; Macdonald Critchley, 1955; Niehbuhr, 1961), by some degree of intellectual deterioration, especially in the later stages of the illness.
