Abstract

Parkinson’s disease has been traditionally classified as a movement disorder, and, until relatively recently, little attention has been devoted to the neurobehavioral and neurocognitive symptoms that can accompany the disease and/or be associated with various treatments, including pharmacologic and neurosurgical treatments. This chapter illustrates the importance of neuropsychological expertise in an interdisciplinary deep brain stimulation team via case examples that incorporate neuropsychological, neurological, and neurosurgical perspectives.
