Breathing is a complex process, which can be controlled through voluntary command or neural control. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder. Many individuals with PD experience respiratory problems, such as coughing difficulties or shortness of breath. Changes in neural control of breathing could be part of the reason of these respiratory problems. This study will measure whether neural control of breathing is impaired in individuals with PD compared to healthy individuals.

Participants with clinically confirmed Parkinson's disease, Hoehn and Yahr stage 1 to 3.
Participants without Parkinson's disease.
Control of breathing is predominantly regulated by feedback of the central chemoreceptors. All chemoreceptors are sensitive to changes in partial pressure of carbon dioxide and via acid-base reactions to hydrogen concentration. The hypercapnic ventilatory response test shows the relationship between end-tidal PCO2 and the resulting minute ventilation.
Healthy participants: volunteers. Age- and sex-matched to the participants with Parkinson's disease. Participants with Parkinson's disease: recruited through the outpatient registry at the Radboud University Medical Center that have approved contact for research purposes.

TMS-related Measures as Biomarker of Cognitive Impairment in PD
Real-PD Trial: Development of Clinical Prognostic Models for Parkinson's Disease
The RREP is a measure of cerebral cortical activity elicited by short inspiratory occlusion or breathing against inspiratory resistive loads and quantifies the initial arrival and further processing of sensory afferent respiratory information in the cortex.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation of the diaphragm is an established tool for investigating the cortical excitability related to breathing. TMS will be delivered over the vertex using a magnetic stimulator and a 110mm double cone coil.
