Synopsis

Keywords: fMRI (resting state), Parkinson's DiseaseCerebellum is responsible for posture and gait control. 65.93% of patients with multiple system atrophy experienced FOG. Patients with the damaged cerebellar locomotor region had gait-freezing-like symptoms, suggesting that the cerebellum may be involved in the occurrence and development of FOG symptoms. This study suggested that the cerebellum volume atrophy may be involved in FOG development in MSA patients and subsequently induce functional abnormality in the cerebellum-cerebral circuit. This study provided neuroimaging evidence for clinical understanding of cerebellum role in MSA patients with FOG injury.
