Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- MSA patients will be included if they met Gilman criteria for probable MSA. All those
subjects will be distinguished between parkinsonian form (MSA-P) and cerebellar form
(MSA-C). All will underwent Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale UPDRS and
International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale ICARSS. All patients will have a poor
response to levodopa (<30% of the UPDRS score).

- Patients with PD will be included if they suffered from idiopathic PD according to
the criteria of UKPDSBB and had a positive response to levodopa (= 30% improvement on
UPDRS part III).

- All healthy subjects will have normal neurological examination and none will have a
history of neurological, cardiovascular or psychiatric disturbance.

- For all subjects, handedness will be determined by the Edinburg test. For all
patients (MSA and PD) a MRI brain scan will be realized



Age minimum: 40 Years
Age maximum: 75 Years
Gender: Both
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Multisystemic Atrophy
Intervention(s)
Radiation: H215O PET
Drug: Levodopa
Primary Outcome(s)
The "movement effect" consists of comparing the images obtained during hand movement with those acquired at rest for each group (MSA, PD and Healthy subjects) using the Family Wise Error (FWE) statistical threshold in OFF and ON conditions [Time Frame: Yes]
Secondary Outcome(s)
Difference between motor activation during OFF and ON condition in each group reflecting levodopa effect on motor activation [Time Frame: No]
Difference between motor activation of the three groups in OFF condition [Time Frame: No]
