Does unilateral dopamine deficit contribute to depression? Abstract Text:

A system of emotional control of behavior is believed to be lateralized to the right hemisphere. Given that dopaminergic pathways are involved in affective behavior, depression, which is recognized as an integral part of Parkinson's disease, may be associated with a dopamine imbalance. The present study examined this hypothesis in patients with unilateral symptomatology indicating either left hemisphere parkinsonism (LHP) or right hemisphere parkinsonism (RHP). Sixteen patients were tested on a battery of neuropsychological tests and several scales for evaluating mood. The two groups did not differ significantly on either cognitive or emotional measures. However, RHP patients rated themselves higher on the Present Scale of Cantril, and showed some neglect of the left visual field, as compared to LHP patients.
