Brief Summary

Parkinson's disease is characterized by motor deficits, improved by dopaminergic intakes. Besides motor symptoms, visual troubles are observed in patients with Parkinson's disease, in particular spatial orientation problems including 3D vision. However, although these visual disturbances are commonly reported by the patients and their family in our clinical experience, they have not been the subject of specific clinical studies yet. Parkinsonian patients report deficits in 3D vision leading to a loss of visuomotor ability, locomotor functions and to falls. Despite these frequent complaints, little is known about 3D vision in Parkinson's disease. The investigators want in this project to precisely estimate 3D deficits in parkinsonian patients by assessing their psychophysical performances in 3D vision tasks to compare to age matched control subjects' performances.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • performance (in percent error) in a 2D/3D categorization task of both parkinsonian patients (OFF treatment) and control subjects.

    before and after levodopa intake for PD patients and once for healthy volunteers

    12 hours after levodopa intake

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • measure of early visual evoked potentials components latency, recorded in parkinsonian patients, in ON and OFF L Dopa conditions, and in control subjects

    12 hours after levodopa intake

  • assessment of 3D psychophysical performance of parkinsonian patients in both ON and OFF L Dopa conditions

    12 hours after levodopa intake

  • search for correlation between the severity of motor impairment of parkinsonian patients and the percentage of error in categorization tasks

    12 hours after levodopa intake

  • search for correlation between the severity of motor impairment of parkinsonian patients and the increase of early visual evoked potentials components latency

    12 hours after levodopa intake

Study Arms (3)

Parkinsonian patients OFF/ON

OTHER

9 patients will be evaluated with psychophysical measurements of 3D perception, in OFF then ON conditions

Other: Psychophysical measurements of 3D perception

healthy subjects

OTHER

Healthy subjects will be evaluated with psychophysical measurements of 3D perception, without treatment

Other: Psychophysical measurements of 3D perception

Parkinsonian patients ON/OFF

OTHER

9 patients will be evaluated with psychophysical measurements of 3D perception, in ON and then OFF conditions

Other: Psychophysical measurements of 3D perception

Interventions

3D psychophysical performances using a categorization tasks and their underlying mechanisms measured with visual evoked potentials will be assessed in a randomized and comparative study. The order of psychophysical and visual evoked potentials experiments will be randomized between the L Dopa ON and OFF conditions. The randomization will be done by the clinical investigational center. The comparisons will be made between parkinsonian patient and control subjects, and between parkinsonian patients in L Dopa ON and OFF conditions.
