title: [Thinking disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease].
abstract: Wisconsin Card Sorting Test was carried on patients with Parkinson's disease in order to examine their conceptual thinking. On the basis of the Mini Mental State Examination and Self Rating Depression Scale 30 patients without dementia and depression of different aetiology and clinical picture, were selected. The comparison with the control group revealed a less successful Wisconsin Card Sorting test results in patients with Parkinson's disease, regarding the number of successfully tested categories and the number of perseverations. The behaviour of the patients with Parkinson's disease during the test was discussed from the point of view of prefrontal cortex, i.e. break of frontostriate connections.
