Abstract
Professor C. David Marsden (1938-1998) made major advances in the understanding of movement disorders during his illustrious career prior to his untimely death 25 years ago. In addition to this body of work, he also made contributions to the understanding of cognitive functions in these disorders, necessarily so in view of the neuropsychological overlap of cognition and movement. This article briefly summarises Professor Marsden’s clinical contributions to cognitive neurology, some of which still inform clinical practice today.
