- Background: Neuropsychiatric symptoms are common and important to people with Parkinson's disease (PD), but their etiology is poorly understood. Plasma neurofilament light (NfL) and p-tau181 are biomarkers of neuro-axonal degeneration and tau pathology respectively, which have yet to be explored in association with the affective and psychotic symptoms in PD. Objective: To investigate the relationship between plasma NfL and p-taul 81 with the affective and psychotic symptoms in PD. Methods: We assessed the baseline concentration of plasma NfL and p-taul 81 in a cohort of 108 patients with PD and 38 healthy controls. A subgroup of patients (n = 63) were assessed annually with clinical measures for up to 7 years. Psychotic symptoms were assessed using the Non-Motor Symptom Scale and affective symptoms were measured in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Results: Baseline plasma NfL was a significant predictor of psychotic symptoms longitudinally across the study adjusted for age, Hoehn and Yahr stage, duration of follow up, duration of disease, baseline levodopa and dopamine agonist medication, and baseline cognition: (OR 8.15 [95% CI 1.40-47.4], p =0 .020). There was no association between NfL concentration and the cumulative prevalence of affective symptoms. Plasma p-taul 81 concentration was not associated with psychotic or affective symptoms. Conclusion: These findings suggest psychotic symptoms are associated with greater neurodegeneration in PD. Further studies are needed to explore NfL as a potential biomarker for psychosis in PD.

- Visual hallucinations (VH) in Lewy body disease (LBD) have a heterogenous phenomenology classified into minor phenomena (MVH) and complex hallucinations (CVH). Mechanisms underpinning VH and their temporal aspects are largely unknown. According to the hodotopic model, we investigated whether changes in distinct cognitive domains and neural networks in the hallucination trait underpin temporal aspects of MVH and CVH in the hallucination state. 35 LBD patients with VH underwent a complete neuropsychological evaluation and resting-state fMRI. North-East-Visual-Hallucinations-Interview was used to assess their typical VH content, duration, and frequency. We found that MVH was not associated with cognitive impairment, while CVH was associated with impairments in visuoperceptual processes, attention and visual abstract reasoning. In seed-to-seed functional connectivity (FC) analysis we identified functional couplings associated with MVH and CVH temporal severity (duration x frequency), duration and frequency. MVH severity was negatively associated with FC between early visual areas (EVA) and ventral-visual-stream regions, and negatively associated with FC between brainstem and EVA, which may be linked to LBD brainstem neuropathology. CVH duration was positively associated with FC between ventral-visual stream and salience network (SN). CVH frequency was negatively associated with FC between DMN and SN. Functional alterations in distinct visual and attentional networks and their dynamic interaction in trait LBD hallucinators are linked to both the phenomenology of state content and its temporal characteristics. Within a network, VH frequency and duration may be linked to different types of functional alterations: increased connectivity leading to sustained activity prolonging VH (duration) and decreased connectivity increasing dysregulated, spontaneous activity (frequency). These findings support the hodotopic hypothesis of VH and may reflect a link between VH phenomenology, LBD neuropathological progression and the involvement of specific neurotransmitter systems.
