Impaired activation of the supplementary motor area in Parkinson's disease is reversed when akinesia is treated with apomorphine.
Using positron emission tomography (PET) we previously showed that activation of the putamen, supplementary motor area, and cingulate cortex is impaired in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) when they are off treatment and perform volitional motor tasks. Evidence suggests that these areas a...
