Background: Punding is a stereotyped behavior characterized by an intense fascination with a complex, excessive, non-goal oriented, repetitive activity affecting individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) on dopamine replacement therapy (DRT).
Objectives: In 2010, we published the first review focused on the pathophysiology of punding. This study aims to systematically review the literature of the past decade on punding in PD, particularly focusing on the clinical features, underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, and treatment.

Amongst the impulse-control disorders (ICDs) associated with dopamine-replacement therapy in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) is a repetitive, complex, stereotyped behaviour called punding. Disruption of the reciprocal loops between the striatum and structures in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) following dopamine depletion may predispose patients with PD to these behavioural disorders. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC) on punding in PD.

We believe this to be the first video case of acute chorea secondary to cocaine--a phenomenon popularly known as "crack dancing.
