Hi everybody! I would like to know if anybody have ever had a pallidotomy and if so, if you noticed any change cognitively. I know that there is some motor improvement but I'm also interested in the cognitive deficits of PD. Does the attention, the memory, the visuospatial, the executive functions (ability to shift set and concept formation) and the emotional and behavioral functions change after a pallidotomy or if it remains the same? Even people who didn't had a pallidotomy but knows about this, I will be please to read you! I like also to say that I really enjoy this group and that I learn a lot. I study PD and find this group very helpful. Maryse [log in to unmask]
