Differential functional connectivity patterns of anterior substantial nigra and posterior substantial nigra in Parkinsons were identified by comparing with age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers with seed-based analysis on cross-scanner resting state fMRI data. This abnormal functional connectivity reduction of the anterior and posterior substantial nigra in Parkinsons may suggest a link between posterior default-mode network impairment and dopaminergic deficit.
