The multimodal MRI assessment is here used to better understand the previous known parietoprefrontal networks' abnormalities in parkinsonian patients with freezing of gait. Anatomic disconnection was observed in the right prefrontal cortex in those patients and functional disconnection was major from the left one. The imbalance between left and right networks is discussed heyard the pathophysiology of freezing.
