  • Title: Compulsive singing: another aspect of punding in Parkinson's disease.
    Author: Bonvin C, Horvath J, Christe B, Landis T, Burkhard PR.
    Journal: Ann Neurol; 2007 Nov; 62(5):525-8. PubMed ID: 17696122.
    Abstract:
    We report on two patients with advanced Parkinson's disease who were exhibiting a peculiar and stereotyped behavior characterized by an irrepressible need to sing compulsively when under high-dose dopamine replacement therapy. Sharing many features with punding, this singing behavior is proposed as a distinct manifestation of the dopamine dysregulation syndrome in Parkinson's disease.
