Dopaminergic therapy proved to ameliorate motor deficits in Parkinson's disease but its effects on behavior and cognition vary according to factors that include, among others, the evolution of the disease and the nature of the task that is tested. This study addressed the question of whether, in moderate to advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) with motor fluctuations, changes in decision-making and sensitivity to reward occur and to what extent dopaminergic therapy plays a role.
