Abstract
The relation of body side of motor symptom onset in Parkinson's
disease (PD) to memory measures associated with hemispheric dominance was
examined. Fourteen patients with right body side motor symptom onset (RPD,
inferred left hemisphere dysfunction) and 16 patients with left side onset
(LPD, right hemisphere dysfunction) were administered measures of verbal
(Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised) and visual memory (Brief Visual
Memory Test-Revised), that require similar task demands and are associated
with left or right hemisphere dominance, respectively. The LPD group
demonstrated poorer visual than verbal memory, both within group and in
comparison to the RPD group. By contrast, the RPD group showed poorer
verbal than visual memory within group. These findings suggest that side
of motor symptom onset is associated with asymmetrical memory dysfunction
