Visual hallucinations are a significant issue for many patients with Parkinson’s disease. A recent study published in the journal Brain reveals that these hallucinations are associated with a marked deficiency of cholinergic activity in specific regions of the brain, particularly the left ventral visual stream and the left superior temporal lobe. This research highlights the importance of cholinergic denervation in visual hallucinations, offering new insights into the underlying mechanisms and potential treatment options.

Secondary symptoms of PD can be as debilitating as the primary motor symptoms, often leading to increased disability, reduced independence, and a higher burden on caregivers. Parkinson disease (PD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder involving multiple neurotransmitter pathways in the brain and autonomic nervous system, has been typically characterized by motor symptoms including tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural reflex disturbance. Although these dopaminergic motor symptoms are a major part of the clinical management of the disease, a growing number of patients have expressed that the nonmotor, secondary symptoms affect their quality of life even more.
