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.
