Keywords: Parkinson's Disease, fMRI (resting state), PD motor subtypes
Motivation: Clinical symptoms vary among motor subtypes of Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Goal(s): This study investigated brain functional differentiation and integration abnormalities across PD motor subtypes.
Approach: We used degree centrality (DC) and seed-based functional connectivity (FC) analyses, as well as voxel based morphometry (VBM) to explore neuroimaging manifestations associated with different PD motor subtypes.
Results: Postural instability and gait difficulty-dominant PD (PD-PIGD) patients showed reduced DC in the right superior frontal gyrus. Secondary FC alterations and gray matter volume atrophy also were more pronounced in PD-PIGD than in tremor-dominant PD.
Impact: These findings suggest that PD-PIGD represents a more severe PD subtype, offering new insights into clinical differences between PD motor subtypes.
