Parkinsons Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by tremors apart from bradykinesia, rigidity and postural imbalance. The tremors often present motor dysfunction. We carried out this FMRI study to distinguish the brain activation pattern in the male and female Parkinsons disease patients and the response of dopaminergic drugs in male and female patients.
