TLDR
The findings show how the dopaminergic system exerts influences on widespread brain networks, including motor and cognitive networks, in PD, and is more deviant in more severe disease.

Functional connectivity in the basal ganglia network differentiates PD patients from controls.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that resting functional connectivity, measured with MRI using an observer-independent method, is reproducibly reduced in the BGN in cognitively intact patients with PD, and increases upon administration of dopaminergic medication.

A systematic review on the applications of resting-state fMRI in Parkinson's disease: Does dopamine replacement therapy play a role?

TL;DR: It is suggested that performing rs-fMRI in de novo patients could be a method of choice to study the fundamental functional abnormalities in PD independent of the effects of DRT, but it is necessary to carefully control for excessive involuntary head motions in the patients not receiving DRT.

Neuroimaging of Parkinson's disease: Expanding views.

TL;DR: Overall, neuroimaging has shown that PD is a neurodegenerative disorder involving many neurotransmitters, brain regions, structural and functional connections, and neurocognitive systems, which will be essential for translational efforts to develop better treatments and preventive strategies.

Investigating Causal Relations by Econometric Models and Cross-Spectral Methods

TL;DR: In this article, the cross spectrum between two variables can be decomposed into two parts, each relating to a single causal arm of a feedback situation, and measures of causal lag and causal strength can then be constructed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parkinsonism: Onset, progression, and mortality

TL;DR: Controversy over the effectiveness of therapeutic measures for parkinsonism is due partially to this wide variability and to the paucity of clinical information about the natural history of the syndrome.

A default mode of brain function.

TL;DR: A baseline state of the normal adult human brain in terms of the brain oxygen extraction fraction or OEF is identified, suggesting the existence of an organized, baseline default mode of brain function that is suspended during specific goal-directed behaviors.

Staging of brain pathology related to sporadic Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: This study traces the course of the pathology in incidental and symptomatic Parkinson cases proposing a staging procedure based upon the readily recognizable topographical extent of the lesions.

Functional architecture of basal ganglia circuits: neural substrates of parallel processing

TL;DR: Recent evidence indicating that a parallel functional architecture may also be characteristic of the organization within each individual circuit is discussed, which represents a significant departure from earlier concepts of basal ganglia organization.
