Pramipexole Increases Go Timeouts but Not No-go Errors in Healthy Volunteers

Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by motor symptoms, such as resting tremor, bradykinesia and rigidity, but also features non-motor complications. PD patients taking dopaminergic therapy, such as levodopa but especially dopamine agonists (DAs), evidence an increase in impulse control disorders (ICDs), suggesting a link between dopaminergic therapy and impulsive pursuit of pleasurable activities. However, impulsivity is a multifaceted construct. Motor impulsivity refers to the inability to overcome auto… Show more

“…Our objective was to explicitly investigate, in back-to-back tests within PD patients, the effect of dopaminergic therapy on motor impulse control using an accepted measure of this process (i.e., Go/No-go; Rubia et al, 2001 ; Hamidovic et al, 2008 ; Antonelli et al, 2014 ). Here, in PD patients, we entirely replicated the pattern that we observed in healthy young controls (Yang et al, 2016 ). Specifically, we previously showed that dopaminergic therapy increases the Go Timeout rate in healthy young controls.…”

“…Specifically, we previously showed that dopaminergic therapy increases the Go Timeout rate in healthy young controls. We previously interpreted this pattern of results, as we have here, as evidence that dopaminergic therapy increases control over motor responses and decreases the tendency to make more impulsive responses (Yang et al, 2016 ).…”

“…DS encompasses the majority of the caudate nucleus and putamen. The DS has been implicated in decision-making (14), cognitive flexibility (15), and inhibition of habitual responses (16). In contrast, the VS is comprised of the nucleus accumbens and ventral regions of the caudate nucleus and putamen (10).…”
