Cortico-striatal-thalamic functional connectivity (FC)
was assessed in chronically treated (t-PD) and
drug-nave (n-PD) hemiparkinsonian patients.. N-PD
patients experienced an increased basal ganglia
reciprocal connectivity while the affected caudate
nucleus and thalamus were hypoconnected with the
ispilateral fronto-insular cortices. The enhanced
subcortical FC was normalized, or inverted into
hypoconnectivity, in t-PD patients, who also exhibited
an increased FC of the striatal and thalamic regions
with the sensorimotor and association posterior
cortices. FC changes occur in early hemiparkinsonian
patients, antecede the onset of motor symptoms on the
opposite body side, and are modulated by levodopa
possibly through an increased thalamic outflow.
