Abstract

Objective: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by cognitive deficits. There is not clarity about electroencephalogram (EEG) connectivity related to the cognitive profile of patients. Our objective was to evaluate connectivity over resting EEG in nondemented PD. Methods: PD subjects with and without mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were assessed using coherence from resting EEG for local, intra and interhemispheric connectivity. Results: PD subjects without MCI (PD-nMCI) had lower intra and interhemispheric coherence in alpha2 compared with controls. PD with MCI (PD-MCI) showed higher intra and posterior interhemispheric coherence in alpha2 and beta1, respectively, in comparison to PD-nMCI. PD-MCI presented lower frontal coherence in beta frequencies compared with PD-nMCI. Conclusion: EEG coherence measures indicate distinct cortical activity in PD with and without MCI.
