Summary

This study conducted to more fully evaluate the way that carbidopa/levodopa and entacapone may work in the brain. This research study uses \[123I\]-IBZM and dynamic SPECT imaging to determine the amount and the duration of dopamine release from specific regions in the brain after treatment with either the combination of carbidopa/levodopa or the combination of carbidopa/levodopa/entacapone.
