Event-related potential(ERP) studies of cognitive function in Parkinson’s disease(PD) have focused on P300 and N270. However,little is known regarding face recognition ERP in PD. The present study assessed cognitive function in PD patients using neuropsychological scales and analyzed N170 of visuospatial function impairment(VFI) in PD. Results showed that Montreal cognitive assessment can be used for assessing cognitive impairment when visuospatial functioning is changed during the early stage of PD. Face recognition has clinical significance for detecting changes in visuospatial functioning. However,N170 is not sensitive for detection of VFI in PD,which implies that VFI does not appear in the stage of structure coding in face recognition. In addition,VFI affects face recognition.
