An improved understanding of the cerebellum, especially the cerebello-thalamo-cortical (CTC) circuit in Parkinsons disease (PD)-related changes, is essential for a better understanding of the pathophysiology of the disorder. Previous study describes a relationship between the anterior lobe of the cerebellum and motor function, and between the posterior lobe and executive function. Using functional connectivity method we found increased functional connectivity of the cerebellar posterior lobe in the resting state. This alteration may play a compensatory role in cognitive or executive functions of PD patients.
