Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus and the patients often have no symptoms in the early stage. Notably, basal ganglia is an important hub in the sensorimotor loop, we hypothesized that dysfunction of basal ganglia in diabetic patients with DPN. Based on this hypothesis, we assessed the function of basal ganglia in diabetic patients using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). And our results found the reduced basal ganglia adaptability in DPN patients, which is expected to providing a new perspective for the guidance of early clinical diagnosis and efficacy evaluation.
