The Central Nervous System (CNS) regions in charge of coordi- nating activity, muscle tone, and movements are affected by Par- kinson’s disease (PD). It is regarded as the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and is a chronic, progressive, and ir- reversible neurodegenerative disorder. For a long time, PD was thought to be a sporadic, non-genetic condition; however, the majority of cases are now recognized as being idiopathic. But in recent years, the notion of viewing PD as a sporadic disorder has undergone a significant change [1]. The main risk factor for developing PD is now thought to be genetic factors, possibly in conjunction with environmental factors. For decades, studies have focused on describing psychomotor deficits because the condition was initially thought to be only a movement disorder. However, the current understanding of the condition as a neurodegenerative disease has led to the inclusion of significant neuropsychological implications involving functions in many cortical and subcortical areas that determine a syndromic motor-non-motor cortex with critical neurocognitive and behavioral aspects, as well as a great deal of interindividual variability [2,3].
