    Abstract Introduction: Functional movement disorders (FMD) can overlap with Parkinson's disease (PD), and distinguishing between the two clinical conditions can be complex. Framing social cognition (theory of mind) (TOM) disorder, attention deficit, and psychodynamic features of FMD and PD may improve diagnosis.
    Methods: Subjects with FMD and PD and healthy controls (HC) were administered tasks assessing TOM abilities and attention. The psychodynamic hypothesis of conversion disorder was explored by a questionnaire assessing dissociative symptoms. A comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tasks was also administered to FMD and PD.
    Results: Although both FMD and PD scored lower than HC on all TOM tests, significant correlations between TOM and neuropsychological tasks were found only in PD but not in FMD. Only PD showed a reduction in attentional control. Dissociative symptoms occurred only in FMD.
    Discussion: Cognitive-affective disturbances are real in FMD, whereas they are largely dependent on cognitive impairment in PD. Attentional control is preserved in FMD compared to PD, consistent with the hypothesis that overload of voluntary attentional orientation may be at the basis of the onset of functional motor symptoms. On a psychodynamic level, the confirmation of dissociative symptoms in FMD supports the conversion disorder hypothesis.
    Conclusion: FMD and PD can be distinguished on an affective and cognitive level. At the same time, however, the objective difficulty often encountered in distinguishing between the two pathologies draws attention to how blurred the boundary between 'organic' and 'functional' can be.

    Abstract The aims of this study were to assess the incidence rate and risk factors for sialorrhea in the long-term follow-up in a cohort of 132 patients with advanced Parkinson's disease [88 with deep brain stimulation (DBS) and 44 on medical treatment]. The incidence rate of sialorrhea did not differ between the two groups; male sex, Hoehn and Yahr stage and dysphagia resulted risk factors for sialorrhea. These findings indicate that DBS does not increase the risk of developing sialorrhea.

    Abstract Peripheral errors in writing, that is errors produced download the spelling, have been occasionally described in primary progressive aphasia (PPA), but the possibility that these errors might be a marker of parkinsonism associated to some subtypes of PPA has not been explored. We investigated whether errors of peripheral nature characterize the writing disorder in PPA when associated with parkinsonian signs (PSs). Subgroups of PPA without PSs and with PSs were studied. The proportion of the central and peripheral errors in writing words and pseudowords was calculated in each group. In writing words, central errors significantly exceeded peripheral errors in subgroups without PSs. The higher the number of peripheral errors, the higher the probability of presenting PSs. No relation emerged between any error and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, but both types of errors correlated with measures of cognitive ability. Peripheral errors emerge when PSs are associated with PPA and may be linked to a decay of the cognitive control on movement, possibly involving the right hemisphere. Peripheral errors have clinical relevance in PPA, to the extent that they may assume the significance of a marker of specific subtypes and can help to outline the specific clinical picture of individual patients.

    Abstract Objectives: Functional movement disorders (FMD) refer to a heterogeneous group of manifestations incongruent with known neurological diseases. Functional neuroimaging studies in FMD indicate the overlap between cerebral regions in which abnormal activation occurs and those considered crucial for theory of mind (ToM), the ability to attribute mental states. The aim of this study was to explore whether FMD might be related to ToM disorders to the extent that they reduce the ability to make inferences about the mental states underlying motor behaviour during social interaction.
    Materials & methods: Eighteen subjects with FMD and 28 matched healthy controls (HC) were given a ToM battery. The severity of FMD was rated by the Simplified-FMD Rating Scale (S-FMDRS). Dissociative symptoms were evaluated by the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES-II).
    Results: FMD scored worse than the HC in most ToM tasks: second-order False Beliefs (p = .005), Faux-Pas Recognition Test (p < .001) and Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (p = .020); control questions elicited normal scores. The DES-II indicated dissociative-borderline psychopathology and negatively correlated with accuracy on the second-order False Belief (Spearman's rho = -.444; p = .032); the positive correlation between DES-II and severity of motor symptoms (S-FMDRS) approached significance (Spearman's rho test = .392; p = .054). ToM disorders were not correlated with S-FMDRS, due to the typical variability in FMD over time with regard to the severity of symptoms and the district of body involved.
    Conclusions: Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that FMD are related to ToM deficits, and future studies are needed to define the specific nature of this relationship.
