PD-H: PD patients with visual hallucinations; PD-NH: PD patients without visual hallucinations; RT: reaction time. Values are expressed as mean ± SD.
p: p value, by one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with age, gender as covariate for between-group comparison and by one-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) for within-group comparison.
, PD-H versus control, Tukey method for post hoc analysis,
