Discrepant Views of Apathy in Patients and Caregivers: the Role of Cognitive Deficits in Parkinson's Disease
These findings highlight the impact of cognitive dysfunction on apathy evaluation in PD, emphasizing the importance of caregiver perspective. Neuroimaging results further validated caregiver ratings, showing an association between fronto-striatal network changes and apathy. Further research is needed to clarify the role of such discrepancy in apathy assessment in predicting disease progression.
