Neural correlates of risky decision making in Parkinson’s disease patients with impulse control disorders
2022
Overview
Some patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience impulse control disorders (ICDs), characterized by deficient voluntary control over impulses, drives, or temptations regarding excessive hedonic behavior. The present study aimed to better understand the neural basis of impulsive, risky decision making in PD patients with ICDs by disentangling potential dysfunctions in decision and outcome mechanisms. We collected fMRI data from 20 patients with ICDs and 28 without ICDs performing an information gathering task. Patients viewed sequences of bead colors drawn from hidden urns and were instructed to infer the majority bead color in each urn. With each new bead, they could choose to either seek more evidence by drawing another bead (draw choice) or make an urn-inference (urn choice followed by feedback). We manipulated risk via the probability of bead color splits (80/20 vs. 60/40) and potential loss following an incorrect inference ($10 vs. $0). Patients also completed the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS) to assess impulsivity. Patients with ICDs showed greater urn choice-specific activation in the right middle frontal gyrus, overlapping the dorsal premotor cortex. Across all patients, fewer draw choices (i.e., more impulsivity) were associated with greater activation during both decision making and outcome processing in a variety of frontal and parietal areas, cerebellum, and bilateral striatum. Our findings demonstrate that ICDs in PD are associated with differences in neural processing of risk-related information and outcomes, implicating both reward and sensorimotor dopaminergic pathways.
