title: Evolution of visual art with dopaminergic therapy.
abstract: A patient with right-side-predominant Parkinson's disease presented visual artwork which improved in resemblance to the model which he was copying with increasing doses of levodopa. I propose that increased dopaminergic replacement resulted in improved attention to detail, mediated by circuitry in the left hemisphere.
