Parkinson's
Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder assumed to involve
different areas of CNS and PNS. Thus, Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is used to
examine the areas engaged in PD neurodegeneration. We
studied the relationship between local connectome alterations obtained by
connectometry approach and motor severity of elderly PD as measured with
Unified Parkinson's disease 3. Our findings demonstrate the fornix and cingulium fibers in limbic
system have association with motor severity in elderly PD patients in onset.
