Background: Numerous studies reported a higher prevalence of polyneuropathy (PNP) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) compared to the general population. Importantly, PNP symptoms can aggravate both motor and sensory disturbances in PD patients and negatively impact the disease course. Recent analyses indicate distinct PNP patterns in PD.

- A study found that polyneuropathy (PNP) is common in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), affecting around 65.85% of participants at the start and deteriorating in 21.95% over 2 years.
- The research included comprehensive evaluations and nerve conduction studies to assess PNP, which was linked to older age and more severe PD symptoms.
- The findings highlight the need for more extensive studies to understand the relationship between PD and PNP, particularly the progression and underlying mechanisms involved.
Visual attention and saccadic eye movements are linked in a tight, yet flexible fashion. In humans, this link is typically studied with dual-task setups. Participants are instructed to execute a saccade to some target location, while a discrimination target is flashed on a screen before the saccade can be made.
