Impulse control disorders in Parkinson’s disease: Crossroads between neurology, psychiatry and neuroscience


Non-motor symptoms contribute significantly to Parkinson’s disease (PD) related disability. Impulse control disorders
(ICDs) have been recently added to the behavioural spectrum of PD-related non-motor symptoms. Such behaviours are
characterized by an inappropriate drive to conduct repetitive behaviours that are usually socially inadequate or result in harmful
consequences. Parkinson disease impulse control disorders (PD-ICDs) have raised significant interest in the scientific and medical
community, not only because of their incapacitating nature, but also because they may represent a valid model of ICDs beyond
PD and a means to study the physiology of drive, impulse control and compulsive actions in the normal brain. In this review, we
discuss some unresolved issues regarding PD-ICDs, including the association with psychiatric co-morbidities such as obsessivecompulsive
disorder and with dopamine related side effects, such as hallucinations and dyskinesias; the relationship with executive
cognitive dysfunction; and the neural underpinnings of ICDs in PD. We also discuss the contribution of neuroscience studies
based on animal-models towards a mechanistic explanation of the development of PD-ICDs, specifically regarding corticostriatal
control of goal directed and habitual actions
