Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: The main objective is to compare the expression of the 5-HT4 receptor in patients with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease compared to age-matched healthy controls (controls);Secondary Objective: describe 5-HT4 alterations related to motor, non-motor, cognitive and psychobehavioral symptoms and polymorphism data, describe 5-HT4 alterations in relation to polymorphism data.;Primary end point(s): the difference in binding of the radiotracer [11C]SB207145 to the 5-HT4 receptor between Parkinsonian patients and control subjects. For each subject, the specific binding of the tracer will be calculated for each voxel with respect to a reference zone (the white matter of the cerebellum).
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary end point(s):the description of the relationship between the level of expression of the tracer and the clinical scores on the scales of motor, non-motor, cognitive and psycho-behavioural symptoms.;Secondary end point(s):the description of the relationship between the expression level of the tracer and the polymorphism data.
