Abstract
In patients with Parkinson's syndrome the early components of kinesthe tic evoked potentials recorded from the brain differ significantly fro m those in healthy subjects, whereas the components of somatosensory e voked potentials do not. The observed differences appear to reflect en hanced pyramidal descending influences on the transmission of inhibito ry kinesthetic afferent impulses in order to compensate for the excess ive excitation in the extrapyramidal system.
