Abstract
Impulse control disorders (ICDs) are a group of non-motor symptoms of Parkinson disease (PD) leading to significant psychosocial detrimental outcome. The mesocorticolimbic network plays a distinctive role in reward learning and executive decision making and has been suggested to be involved in ICDs in PD. To study morphometric changes of the mesocorticolimbic network in PD with ICD. A total of 18 patients of PD with ICD (PD + ICD), 19 patients of PD without ICD (PD - ICD) and 19 healthy controls (HC) were included in the study. ICDs were diagnosed using Questionnaire for Impulsive-Compulsive Disorders in PD-Rating Scale (QUIP-RS). MRI was done using a 3T scanner and assessment of cortical thickness and subcortical volumes were done using FreeSurfer. Brain regions known to be part of the mesocorticolimbic network were extracted and included for statistical analysis. There was no difference between PD + ICD and PD - ICD with regard to duration of illness or total dopaminergic medication. In comparison to HC, patients with PD + ICD demonstrated atrophy of the left frontal pole, and this atrophy neared significance in comparison to PD - ICD. The QUIP-RS had a negative correlation with left caudate volume in PD + ICD. The PD + ICD group showed distinct morphometric changes in regions involved in the mesocorticolimbic system which may contribute to the presence of ICD.

Different impulse control disorder evolution patterns and white matter microstructural damage in the progression of Parkinson's disease. Front Aging Neurosci 2023; 15:1260630. [PMID: 38187360 PMCID: PMC10768538 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2023.1260630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The course of impulse control disorders (ICD) varies in the early stage of Parkinson's disease (PD). Aim We aimed to delineate the association between the evolution pattern of ICD and the progression of PD. Methods A total of 321 de novo PD patients from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative database were included. Patients were followed up for a mean of 6.8 years and were classified into different groups according to the evolution patterns of ICD. Disease progression was compared among groups using survival analysis, in which the endpoint was defined as progression to Hoehn and Yahr stage 3 or higher for motor progression and progression to mild cognitive impairment for cognitive decline. In the fourth year of follow-up, four types of ICD evolution patterns were identified: (1) non-ICD-stable (68.2%), a patient who is consistently free of ICD; (2) late-ICD (14.6%), ICD developed during the follow-up of patients; (3) ICD-stable (11.5%), patients showed persistent ICD; and (4) ICD-reversion (5.6%), baseline ICD disappeared during the follow-up of patients with ICD. Results The ICD-reversion type shows daily life non-motor symptoms [Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) part I], daily life motor symptoms (MDS-UPDRS part II), rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, and anxiety symptoms has a greater impact. PD patients with different ICD evolution patterns had different changes in white matter microstructure at the onset of the disease. Those relevant brain regions are involved in ICD and non-motor functions. Conclusion Four early ICD evolution patterns are identified in de novo PD, with different prognoses and brain white matter microstructural damage patterns, and they may predict motor progression and cognitive decline in PD patients.

Abstract
Impulse control disorders (ICDs) in Parkinson's disease (PD) are increasingly recognized as clinically significant non-motor features that potentially impair the quality of life. White matter hyperintensities (WMHs), detected by magnetic resonance imaging, are frequently observed in PD and can be associated with both motor- and certain non-motor symptoms. Given the limited number of non-motor features studied in this context, our aim was to reveal the potential association between the severity of WMHs and ICDs in PD. Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance images were retrospectively evaluated in 70 patients with PD (48 males; 59.3 ± 10.1 years). The severity of WMHs was assessed by Fazekas scores and by the volume and number of supratentorial WMHs. ICDs were evaluated using the modified Minnesota Impulsive Disorders Interview. Significant interaction between age and the severity of WMHs was present for ICDs. In our younger patients (< 60.5 years), severity of WMHs was positively associated with ICDs (p = 0.004, p = 0.021, p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively for periventricular white matter and total Fazekas scores and the volume and number of WMHs). Our study supports the hypothesis that WMHs of presumed vascular origin may contribute to ICDs in PD. Future prospective studies are needed to assess the prognostic relevance of this finding.

Abstract
Currently, over 90 genetic loci have been found to be associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) in genome-wide association studies, nevertheless, the effects of these genetic variants on the clinical features and brain structure of PD patients are largely unknown. This study investigated the effects of microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) rs17649553 (C>T), a genetic variant associated with reduced PD risk, on the clinical manifestations and brain networks of PD patients. We found MAPT rs17649553 T allele was associated with better verbal memory in PD patients. In addition, MAPT rs17649553 significantly shaped the topology of gray matter covariance network and white matter network. Both the network metrics in gray matter covariance network and white matter network were correlated with verbal memory, however, the mediation analysis showed that it was the small-world properties in white matter network that mediated the effects of MAPT rs17649553 on verbal memory. These results suggest that MAPT rs17649553 T allele is associated with higher small-world properties in structural network and better verbal memory in PD.

Cingulum and Uncinate Fasciculus Microstructural Abnormalities in Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review of Diffusion Tensor Imaging Studies. BIOLOGY 2023; 12:biology12030475. [PMID: 36979166 PMCID: PMC10045759 DOI: 10.3390/biology12030475] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023]
Abstract
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is gaining traction in neuroscience research as a tool for evaluating neural fibers. The technique can be used to assess white matter (WM) microstructure in neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson disease (PD). There is evidence that the uncinate fasciculus and the cingulum bundle are involved in the pathogenesis of PD. These fasciculus and bundle alterations correlate with the symptoms and stages of PD. PRISMA 2022 was used to search PubMed and Scopus for relevant articles. Our search revealed 759 articles. Following screening of titles and abstracts, a full-text review, and implementing the inclusion criteria, 62 papers were selected for synthesis. According to the review of selected studies, WM integrity in the uncinate fasciculus and cingulum bundles can vary according to symptoms and stages of Parkinson disease. This article provides structural insight into the heterogeneous PD subtypes according to their cingulate bundle and uncinate fasciculus changes. It also examines if there is any correlation between these brain structures' structural changes with cognitive impairment or depression scales like Geriatric Depression Scale-Short (GDS). The results showed significantly lower fractional anisotropy values in the cingulum bundle compared to healthy controls as well as significant correlations between FA and GDS scores for both left and right uncinate fasciculus regions suggesting that structural damage from disease progression may be linked to cognitive impairments seen in advanced PD patients. This review help in developing more targeted treatments for different types of Parkinson's disease, as well as providing a better understanding of how cognitive impairments may be related to these structural changes. Additionally, using DTI scans can provide clinicians with valuable information about white matter tracts which is useful for diagnosing and monitoring disease progression over time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding the microstructure of the brain that underlies emotions is of pivotal importance for psychology and psychiatry. Herein, we investigated white matter (WM) tracts associated with anger using the diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (DMRI) connectometry approach while exploring potential sex differences. METHODS 225 healthy participants from the LEMON database were evaluated using the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI). WM images were prepared and analyzed with DMRI. Multiple regression models were fitted to address the correlation of local connectomes with STAXI components with age and handedness as covariates. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in state anger and trait anger between males and females (p = 0.55 and 0.30, respectively). DMRI connectometry revealed that quantitative anisotropy (QA) values in the bilateral corticospinal tract (CST), splenium of corpus callosum (SCC), middle cerebellar peduncle, left inferior cerebellar peduncle, left cingulum, and left fornix were negatively correlated with trait anger and trait anger temperament (TAT) in males. In contrast, the QA values in the bilateral CST and SCC showed a positive correlation with trait anger and TAT in females, which, however, did not reach statistical significance. LIMITATIONS The cross-sectional design and self-reported measures of anger limit the generalizability of our results. CONCLUSIONS This is the first DMRI connectometry study to investigate WM circuits involved in anger. We found that the pathways associated with the limbic system and movement-related regions were involved in trait anger and anger expression in men, while no brain pathways showed a significant relationship with anger in women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impulse control behaviors (ICB) are frequently observed in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and are characterized by compulsive and repetitive behavior resulting from the inability to resist internal drives. OBJECTIVES In this study, we aimed to provide a better understanding of structural and functional brain alterations and clinical parameters related to ICB in PD patients. METHODS We utilized a dataset from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative including 36 patients with ICB (PDICB+) compared to 76 without ICB (PDICB-) and 61 healthy controls (HC). Using multimodal MRI data we assessed gray matter brain volume, white matter integrity, and graph topological properties at rest. RESULTS Compared with HC, PDICB+ showed reduced gray matter volume in the bilateral superior and middle temporal gyrus and in the right middle occipital gyrus. Compared with PDICB-, PDICB+ showed volume reduction in the left anterior insula. Depression and anxiety were more prevalent in PDICB+ than in PDICB- and HC. In PDICB+, lower gray matter volume in the precentral gyrus and medial frontal cortex, and higher axial diffusivity in the superior corona radiata were related to higher depression score. Both PD groups showed disrupted functional topological network pattern within the cingulate cortex compared with HC. PDICB+ vs PDICB- displayed reduced topological network pattern in the anterior cingulate cortex, insula, and nucleus accumbens. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that structural alterations in the insula and abnormal topological connectivity pattern in the salience network and the nucleus accumbens may lead to impaired decision making and hypersensitivity towards reward in PDICB+. Moreover, PDICB+ are more prone to suffer from depression and anxiety.

Abstract
Background Previous neuroimaging studies reported inconsistent results for comparison between Parkinson's disease (PD) with impulse control disorder (PD-ICD) and without ICD (PD-no ICD). Methods A search was performed in databases (PubMed and Web of Science) to identify studies published before May 2022. An anatomic likelihood estimation (ALE) method study was made for neuroimaging studies in PD-ICD. Results The study included 20 studies (including 341 PD-ICD and 437 PD-no ICD). PD-ICD patients showed significant cortical thinning in the right inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), the right middle frontal gyrus (MFG), the left superior frontal gyrus (SFG), the right precentral gyrus (PCG) and the left cingulate gyrus (CG), compared to PD-no ICD patients. The ALE study showed reduced resting-state brain activation in the right IFG, the right PCG, the left insula and the right transverse temporal gyrus (TTG) in PD-ICD, compared to PD-no ICD patients. In addition, PD-ICD showed increased resting-state brain activation in the right caudate, the bilateral insula and the left orbital gyrus (OG), compared to PD-no ICD patients. The study indicated reduced task-related brain activation in the right caudate, the right MFG, the right lentiform nucleus (LN) and the right precuneus (PCUN) in PD-ICD, compared to PD-no ICD patients. The study showed increased task-related brain activation in the left inferior parietal lobule (IPL), the right medial frontal gyrus, the right caudate and the right PCG in PD-ICD, compared to PD-no ICD patients. Conclusions The present ALE analysis has confirmed that brain changes in frontal, temporal and basal ganglia regions are among the most frequently reported regions in PD-ICD. Deficits in these regions could play a role in diagnosis of PD-ICD.

Abstract
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is now having a strong momentum in research to evaluate the neural fibers of the CNS. This technique can study white matter (WM) microstructure in neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease (PD). Previous neuroimaging studies have suggested cerebellar involvement in the pathogenesis of PD, and these cerebellum alterations can correlate with PD symptoms and stages. Using the PRISMA 2020 framework, PubMed and EMBASE were searched to retrieve relevant articles. Our search revealed 472 articles. After screening titles and abstracts, and full-text review, and implementing the inclusion criteria, 68 papers were selected for synthesis. Reviewing the selected studies revealed that the patterns of reduction in cerebellum WM integrity, assessed by fractional anisotropy, mean diffusivity, radial diffusivity, and axial diffusivity measures can differ symptoms and stages of PD. Cerebellar diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) changes in PD patients with "postural instability and gait difficulty" are significantly different from "tremor dominant" PD patients. Freezing of the gate is strongly related to cerebellar involvement depicted by DTI. The "reduced cognition," "visual disturbances," "sleep disorders," "depression," and "olfactory dysfunction" are not related to cerebellum microstructural changes on DTI, while "impulsive-compulsive behavior" can be linked to cerebellar WM alteration. Finally, higher PD stages and longer disease duration are associated with cerebellum white matter alteration depicted by DTI. Depiction of cerebellar white matter involvement in PD is feasible by DTI. There is an association with disease duration and severity and several clinical presentations with DTI findings. This clinical-imaging association may eventually improve disease management.

Abstract
Some patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience impulse control disorders (ICDs), characterized by deficient voluntary control over impulses, drives, or temptations regarding excessive hedonic behavior. The present study aimed to better understand the neural basis of impulsive, risky decision making in PD patients with ICDs by disentangling potential dysfunctions in decision and outcome mechanisms. We collected fMRI data from 20 patients with ICDs and 28 without ICDs performing an information gathering task. Patients viewed sequences of bead colors drawn from hidden urns and were instructed to infer the majority bead color in each urn. With each new bead, they could choose to either seek more evidence by drawing another bead (draw choice) or make an urn-inference (urn choice followed by feedback). We manipulated risk via the probability of bead color splits (80/20 vs. 60/40) and potential loss following an incorrect inference ($10 vs. $0). Patients also completed the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS) to assess impulsivity. Patients with ICDs showed greater urn choice-specific activation in the right middle frontal gyrus, overlapping the dorsal premotor cortex. Across all patients, fewer draw choices (i.e., more impulsivity) were associated with greater activation during both decision making and outcome processing in a variety of frontal and parietal areas, cerebellum, and bilateral striatum. Our findings demonstrate that ICDs in PD are associated with differences in neural processing of risk-related information and outcomes, implicating both reward and sensorimotor dopaminergic pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impulse control behaviors (ICBs) in Parkinson's disease (PD) are thought to be caused by an overdose of dopaminergic therapy in the relatively spared ventral striatum, or by hypersensitivity of this region to dopamine. Alterations in brain networks are now also thought to contribute to the development of ICBs. OBJECTIVE To comprehensively assess white matter microstructures in PD patients with ICBs using advanced diffusion MRI and magnetization transfer saturation (MT-sat) imaging. METHODS This study included 19 PD patients with ICBs (PD-ICBs), 18 PD patients without ICBs (PD-nICBs), and 20 healthy controls (HCs). Indices of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), diffusion kurtosis imaging, neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging, and MT-sat imaging were evaluated using tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS), regions of interest (ROIs), and tract-specific analysis (TSA). RESULTS Compared with HCs, PD-nICBs had significant alterations in many major white matter tracts in most parameters. In contrast, PD-ICBs had only partial changes in several parameters. Compared with PD-ICBs, TBSS, ROI, and TSA analyses revealed that PD-nICBs had lower axial kurtosis, myelin volume fraction, and orientation dispersion index in the uncinate fasciculus and external capsule, as well as in the retrolenticular part of the internal capsule. These are components of the reward system and the visual and emotional perception areas, respectively. INTERPRETATION Myelin and axonal changes in fibers related to the reward system and visual emotional recognition might be more prominent in PD-nICBs than in PD-ICBs.

Abstract
Dementia and mild forms of cognitive impairment as well as neuropsychiatric symptoms (i. e., impulse control disorders) are frequent and disabling non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). The identification of changes in neuroimaging studies for the early diagnosis and monitoring of the cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease, as well as their pathophysiological understanding, are critical for the development of an optimal therapeutic approach. In the current literature review, we present an update on the latest structural and functional neuroimaging findings, including high magnetic field resonance and radionuclide imaging, assessing cognitive dysfunction and impulse control disorders in PD.

Abstract
This study aims to identify neuropsychiatric manifestations in neurological Wilson disease (NWD), and their correlation with MRI changes and glutamate excitotoxicity. Forty-three consecutive patients with NWD from a tertiary care teaching hospital were evaluated prospectively who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The neuropsychiatric evaluation was done using Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) battery that assesses 12 domains including delusion, hallucination, agitation/aggression, dysphoria/depression, anxiety, euphoria, apathy, disinhibition, irritability, aberrant motor activity, appetite change, and abnormal nighttime behavior. Cranial MRI was done using a 3 T machine, and locations of signal changes were noted including the total number of MRI lesions. Serum glutamate level was measured by a fluorescence microplate reader. Abnormal NPI in various domains and total NPI scores were correlated with MRI lesions, serum and urinary copper, and glutamate level. The median age of the patients was 16 years. Forty-one (48.8%) patients had cognitive impairment and 37 (86%) had movement disorder. Neurobehavioral abnormality was detected in all-commonest being agitation (90.7%) followed by appetite change (81.4%), elation (74.4%), irritability (69.8%), anxiety (67.4%), depression (65.1%), apathy (44.2%), night time abnormal behavior (32.6%), aberrant motor behavior (20.9%), delusions (16.3%), and hallucination (18.6%). The thalamic lesion was associated with depression, globus pallidus with depression and anxiety, caudate with anxiety and agitation, brainstem with irritability, and frontal cortex with apathy. Serum glutamate level was higher in NWD. NPI sum score correlated with MRI load and glutamate level. Varying severity of neurobehavioral abnormalities are common in the patients with NWD and correlate with the location of MRI lesion and glutamate level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although pathological studies usually indicate pure dopaminergic neuronal degeneration in patients with parkin (PRKN) mutations, there is no evidence to date regarding white matter (WM) pathology. A previous diffusion MRI study has revealed WM microstructural alterations caused by systemic oxidative stress in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), and we found that PRKN patients have systemic oxidative stress in serum biomarker studies. Thus, we hypothesized that PRKN mutations might lead to WM abnormalities. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether there are WM microstructural abnormalities in early-onset PD patients with PRKN mutations using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). METHODS Nine PRKN patients and 15 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited. DTI measures were acquired on a 3T MR scanner using a b value of 1,000 s/mm2 along 32 isotropic diffusion gradients. The DTI measures were compared between groups using tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) analysis. Correlation analysis was also performed between the DTI parameters and several serum oxidative stress markers obtained in a previously conducted metabolomic analysis. RESULTS Although the WM volumes were not significantly different, the TBSS analysis revealed a corresponding decrease in fractional anisotropy and an increase in mean diffusivity and radial diffusivity in WM areas, such as the anterior and superior corona radiata and uncinate fasciculus, in PRKN patients compared with controls. Furthermore, 9-hydroxystearate, an oxidative stress marker, and disease duration were positively correlated with several parameters in PRKN patients. CONCLUSION This pilot study suggests that WM microstructural impairments occur in PRKN patients and are associated with disease duration and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Impulse control disorders (ICD) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) might be attributed to misestimate of rewards or the failure to curb inappropriate choices. The mechanisms underlying ICD were reported to involve the lateralization of monoamine network. Our objective was to probe the significant role of lateralization in the pathogenesis of ICD. Twenty-one PD patients with ICD (PD-ICD), thirty-three without ICD (PD-no ICD), and thirty-seven healthy controls (HCs) were recruited and performed T1-weighted, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scans and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). By applying the Voxel-mirrored Homotopic Connectivity (VMHC) and Freesurfer, we evaluated participants’ synchronicity of functional connectivity and structural changes between hemispheres. Also, tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) was applied to compare fiber tracts differences. Relative to PD-no ICD group, PD-ICD group demonstrated reduced VMHC values in middle frontal gyrus (MFG). Compared to HCs, PD-ICD group mainly showed decreased VMHC values in MFG, middle and superior orbital frontal gyrus (OFG), inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and caudate, which were related to reward processing and inhibitory control. The severity of impulsivity was negatively correlated with the mean VMHC values of MFG in PD-ICD group. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves analyses uncovered that the mean VMHC values of MFG might be a potential marker identifying PD-ICD patients. However, we found no corresponding asymmetrical alteration in cortical thickness and no significant differences in fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD). Our results provided further evidence for asymmetry of functional connectivity in mesolimbic reward and response inhibition network in ICD.

Abstract
Introduction: Impulse control disorders (ICDs) represent a side effect of dopaminergic medication in Parkinson's disease (PD). Patients experience an excessive desire toward natural rewards paired with uncontrolled actions. Yet, the precise neural and behavioral mechanisms associated with ICDs and, importantly, each specific subdomain remain unclear. We aim to decipher resting-state and corticolimbic functional connectivity in PD patients with and without hypersexual ICD. Materials and Methods: Seventeen PD patients with hypersexuality (PD+HS) and 15 PD patients without hypersexuality (PD-HS) underwent two sessions (with and without medication) of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and were compared with 17 healthy controls. Dual-regression independent component analyses extracted salience, sensorimotor, default-mode, and central executive networks. Seed-based functional connectivity with three striatal subdivisions (motor, associative, and limbic) was obtained and significant changes were correlated with key impulsivity and inhibitory measures. Results: Enhanced salience network (SN) activity represented by a significant rise in the right inferior frontal gyrus was found in PD+HS compared with PD-HS. Connectivity analyses revealed a functional disconnection between associative and limbic striatum with precuneus and superior parietal lobe in PD+HS, some connections explained by abnormal sexual behavior and inhibition in PD+HS. Conclusions: Hypersexual ICD is associated with enhanced SN signaling and corticolimbic disconnections, including striatal associative and limbic loops that contribute to altered control of sexually driven behavior and overall severity in PD and ICD.

Abstract
Different psychopathological manifestations, such as affective, psychotic, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and impulse control disturbances, may occur in most central nervous system (CNS) disorders including neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases. Psychiatric symptoms often represent the clinical onset of such disorders, thus potentially leading to misdiagnosis, delay in treatment, and a worse outcome. In this review, psychiatric symptoms observed along the course of several neurological diseases, namely Alzheimer’s disease, fronto-temporal dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and multiple sclerosis, are discussed, as well as the involved brain circuits and molecular/synaptic alterations. Special attention has been paid to the emerging role of fluid biomarkers in early detection of these neurodegenerative diseases. The frequent occurrence of psychiatric symptoms in neurological diseases, even as the first clinical manifestations, should prompt neurologists and psychiatrists to share a common clinico-biological background and a coordinated diagnostic approach.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW There has been an exponential growth in functional connectomics research in neurodegenerative disorders. This review summarizes the recent findings and limitations of the field in Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonian syndromes. RECENT FINDINGS Increasingly more sophisticated methods ranging from seed-based to network and whole-brain dynamic functional connectivity have been used. Results regarding the disruption in the functional connectome vary considerably based on disease severity and phenotypes, and treatment status in PD. Non-motor symptoms of PD also link to the dysfunction in heterogeneous networks. Studies in atypical parkinsonian syndromes are relatively scarce. An important clinical goal of functional connectomics in neurodegenerative disorders is to establish the presence of pathology, track disease progression, predict outcomes, and monitor treatment response. The obstacles of reliability and reproducibility in the field need to be addressed to improve the potential of the functional connectome as a biomarker for these purposes in PD and atypical parkinsonian syndromes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current neuroimaging research has revealed several brain alterations in idiopathic REM sleep behaviour disorder (iRBD) that mirror and precede those reported in PD. However, none have specifically addressed the presence of changes across the reward system, and their role in the emergence of impulse control disorders (ICDs). We aimed to compare the volumetric and functional connectivity characteristics of the reward system in relation to the psychobehavioral profile of patients with iRBD versus healthy controls and PD patients. METHODS Twenty patients with polysomnography confirmed iRBD along with 17 PD patients and 14 healthy controls (HC) underwent structural and functional resting-state brain MRI analysis. Participants completed the questionnaire for impulsive-compulsive disorders in PD (QUIP), the short UPPS-P impulsive behaviour scale, as well as neuropsychological testing of cognitive function. RESULTS A higher percentage of iRBD patients reported hypersexuality, compared to HC and PD (p = 0.008). Whole-brain and striatal voxel-based morphometry analyses showed no significant clusters of reduced grey matter volume between groups. However, iRBD compared to HC demonstrated functional hypoconnectivity between the limbic striatum and temporo-occipital regions. Furthermore, the presence of ICDs correlated with hypoconnectivity between the limbic striatum and clusters located in cuneus, lingual and fusiform gyrus. CONCLUSION Altered functional connectivity between the limbic striatum and posterior cortical regions was associated with increased hypersexuality in iRBD. It is possible that this change may ultimately predispose individuals to the emergence of ICDs when they receive dopaminergic medications, after transitioning to PD.

Incentive-driven decision-making networks in de novo and drug-treated Parkinson's disease patients with impulsive-compulsive behaviors: A systematic review of neuroimaging studies. Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2020; 78:165-177.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Parkinson's disease (PD), impulsive-compulsive behaviors (ICBs) may develop as side-effect of dopaminergic medications. Abnormal incentive-driven decision-making, which is supported by the cognitive control and motivation interaction, may represent an ICBs signature. This systematic review explored whether structural and/or functional brain differences between PD patients with vs without ICBs encompass incentive-driven decision-making networks. METHODS Structural and functional neuroimaging studies comparing PD patients with and without ICBs, either de novo or medicated, were included. RESULTS Thirty articles were identified. No consistent evidence of structural alteration both in de novo and medicated PD patients were found. Differences in connectivity within the default mode, the salience and the central executive networks predate ICBs development and remain stable once ICBs are fully developed. Medicated PD patients with ICBs show increased metabolism and cerebral blood flow in orbitofrontal and cingulate cortices, ventral striatum, amygdala, insula, temporal and supramarginal gyri. Abnormal ventral striatum connectivity with anterior cingulate cortex and limbic structures was reported in PD patients with ICBs. DISCUSSION Functional brain signatures of ICBs in PD encompass areas involved in cognitive control and motivational encoding networks of the incentive-driven decision-making. Functional alterations predating ICBs may be related to abnormal synaptic plasticity in these networks.

Abstract
To identify knowledge gaps regarding new-onset agitation and impulsivity prior to onset of cognitive impairment or dementia the International Society to Advance Alzheimer's Research and Treatment Neuropsychiatric Syndromes (NPS) Professional Interest Area conducted a scoping review. Extending a series of reviews exploring the pre-dementia risk syndrome Mild Behavioral Impairment (MBI), we focused on late-onset agitation and impulsivity (the MBI impulse dyscontrol domain) and risk of incident cognitive decline and dementia. This scoping review of agitation and impulsivity pre-dementia syndromes summarizes the current biomedical literature in terms of epidemiology, diagnosis and measurement, neurobiology, neuroimaging, biomarkers, course and prognosis, treatment, and ongoing clinical trials. Validations for pre-dementia scales such as the MBI Checklist, and incorporation into longitudinal and intervention trials, are needed to better understand impulse dyscontrol as a risk factor for mild cognitive impairment and dementia.

Brain 2020; 143:2502-2518. [PMID: 32761061 PMCID: PMC7447523 DOI: 10.1093/brain/awaa198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2019] [Revised: 03/31/2020] [Accepted: 04/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Impulse control disorders in Parkinson's disease are common neuropsychiatric complications associated with dopamine replacement therapy. Some patients treated with dopamine agonists develop pathological behaviours, such as gambling, compulsive eating, shopping, or disinhibited sexual behaviours, which can have a severe impact on their lives and that of their families. In this study we investigated whether hypersensitivity to reward might contribute to these pathological behaviours and how this is influenced by dopaminergic medication. We asked participants to shift their gaze to a visual target as quickly as possible, in order to obtain reward. Critically, the reward incentive on offer varied over trials. Motivational effects were indexed by pupillometry and saccadic velocity, and patients were tested ON and OFF dopaminergic medication, allowing us to measure the effect of dopaminergic medication changes on reward sensitivity. Twenty-three Parkinson's disease patients with a history of impulse control disorders were compared to 26 patients without such behaviours, and 31 elderly healthy controls. Intriguingly, behavioural apathy was reported alongside impulsivity in the majority of patients with impulse control disorders. Individuals with impulse control disorders also exhibited heightened sensitivity to exogenous monetary rewards cues both ON and OFF (overnight withdrawal) dopamine medication, as indexed by pupillary dilation in anticipation of reward. Being OFF dopaminergic medication overnight did not modulate pupillary reward sensitivity in impulse control disorder patients, whereas in control patients reward sensitivity was significantly reduced when OFF dopamine. These effects were independent of cognitive impairment or total levodopa equivalent dose. Although dopamine agonist dose did modulate pupillary responses to reward, the pattern of results was replicated even when patients with impulse control disorders on dopamine agonists were excluded from the analysis. The findings suggest that hypersensitivity to rewards might be a contributing factor to the development of impulse control disorders in Parkinson's disease. However, there was no difference in reward sensitivity between patient groups when ON dopamine medication, suggesting that impulse control disorders may not emerge simply because of a direct effect of dopaminergic drug level on reward sensitivity. The pupillary reward sensitivity measure described here provides a means to differentiate, using a physiological measure, Parkinson's disease patients with impulse control disorder from those who do not experience such symptoms. Moreover, follow-up of control patients indicated that increased pupillary modulation by reward can be predictive of the risk of future emergence of impulse control disorders and may thereby provide the potential for early identification of patients who are more likely to develop these symptoms.

Abstract
Dopaminergic treatment may impair the ability to suppress impulsive behaviours in patients with Parkinson's disease, triggering impulse control disorders. It is unclear how dopaminergic medication affects the neural networks that contribute to withholding inappropriate actions. To address this question, we mapped task-related brain activity with whole-brain functional magnetic resonance imaging at 3 Tesla in 26 patients with Parkinson's disease. Patients performed a sequential gambling task while being ON and OFF their regular dopaminergic treatment. During a gambling round, patients repeatedly decided between the option to continue with gambling and accumulate more monetary reward under increasing risk or the option to bank the current balance and start a new round. 13 patients had an impulse control disorder (ICD + group). These patients did not differ in risk-taking attitude during sequential gambling from 13 patients without impulse control disorder (ICD - group), but they displayed differences in gambling-related activity in cortico-subcortical brain areas supporting inhibitory control. First, the ICD + group showed reduced "continue-to-gamble" activity in right inferior frontal gyrus and subthalamic nucleus. Second, the individual risk-attitude scaled positively with "continue-to-gamble" activity in right subthalamic nucleus and striatum in the ICD - group only. Third, ICD + patients differed in their functional neural responses to dopaminergic treatment from ICD - patients: dopaminergic therapy reduced functional connectivity between inferior frontal gyrus and subthalamic nucleus during "continue-to-gamble" decisions and attenuated striatal responses towards accumulating reward and risk. Together, the medication-independent (trait) and medication-related (state) differences in neural activity may set a permissive stage for the emergence of impulse control disorders during dopamine replacement therapy in Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Impulsive decision-making is characterized by actions taken without considering consequences. Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who receive dopaminergic treatment, especially dopamine agonists, are at risk of developing impulsive-compulsive behaviors (ICBs). We assessed impulse-related changes across a large heterogeneous PD population using the Barratt impulsivity scale (BIS-11) by evaluating BIS-11 first- and second-order factors. METHODS We assessed a total of 204 subjects: 93 healthy controls (HCs), and 68 ICB- and 43 ICB + PD patients who completed the BIS-11. Using a general linear model and a least absolute shrinkage and selection operation regression, we compared BIS-11 scores between the HC, ICB- PD, and ICB + PD groups. RESULTS Patients with PD rated themselves as more impulsive than HCs in the BIS-11 total score, second-order attention domain, and first-order attention and self-control domains. ICB + patients recorded higher total scores as well as higher scores in the second-order non-planning domain and in self-control and cognitive complexity than ICB- patients. INTERPRETATION These results indicate that the patients with PD show particular problems with attentional control, whereas ICB + patients show a distinct problem in cognitive control and complexity. Additionally, it appears that all patients with PD are more impulsive than their age- and sex-matched healthy peers. Increased impulsivity may be a result of the disease course, or attributed to dopaminergic medication use, but these results emphasize the importance of the cognitive components of impulsivity in patients with PD.

Abstract
Levodopa therapy remains the most effective drug for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, and it is associated with the greatest improvement in motor function as assessed by the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. Dopamine agonists have also proven their efficacy as monotherapy in early Parkinson's disease but also as adjunct therapy. However, the chronic use of dopaminergic therapy is associated with disabling motor and nonmotor side effects and complications, among which levodopa-induced dyskinesias and impulse control behaviors are the most common. The underlying mechanisms of these disorders are not fully understood. In the last decade, classic neuroimaging methods and more sophisticated techniques, such as analysis of gray-matter structural imaging and functional magnetic resonance imaging, have given access to anatomical and functional abnormalities, respectively, in the brain. This review presents an overview of structural and functional brain changes associated with motor and nonmotor therapy-induced complications in Parkinson's disease. Magnetic resonance imaging may offer structural and/or functional neuroimaging biomarkers that could be used as predictive signs of development, maintenance, and progression of these complications. Neurophysiological tools, such as theta burst stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation, might help us to integrate neuroimaging findings and clinical features and could be used as therapeutic options, translating neuroimaging data into clinical practice. © 2020 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
Background The occurrence of impulse control disorders (ICDs) in Parkinson's disease (PD) is frequently attributed to dopamine replacement therapy. However, not all patients who receive medication develop ICDs. Recent imaging studies have suggested specific neuroanatomical abnormalities in patients with PD and ICD. Objectives This study aims to identify changes in volumes of subcortical structures and cortical thickness specific to patients with PD and ICDs. Methodology A total of 11 patients with PD and ICD (PDICD(+)), 15 patients with PD without ICD (PDICD(-)), and 15 healthy controls were analyzed in this study. ICDs were diagnosed and quantified using the Questionnaire for Impulsive-Compulsive Disorders in PD-Rating Scale (QUIP-RS). Structural imaging was performed on a 3T scanner; volumes of subcortical structures and cortical thickness were obtained using first in FSL and FreeSurfer. Results Significant volume loss of the nucleus accumbens was observed in the PDICD(+) group. Several areas of significant cortical thinning were observed in the PDICD(+) group in comparison PDICD(-) group. Thinning of the left middle temporal gyrus, transverse temporal gyrus, and bilateral temporal poles was observed in the PDICD(+) group. No correlations were observed between QUIP-RS scores and areas of cortical thinning. Conclusions The PDICD(+) group has specific neuroanatomical variations in the nucleus accumbens and temporal lobes, which may contribute to the development of ICD and perhaps predispose a patient to ICDs on exposure to dopamine replacement therapy.

Abstract
We have shown that a computer-based program that trains schoolchildren in cognitive tasks that mainly tap working memory (WM), implemented by teachers and integrated into school routine, improved cognitive and academic skills compared with an active control group. Concretely, improvements were observed in inhibition skills, non-verbal IQ, mathematics and reading skills. Here, we focus on a subsample from the overarching study who volunteered to be scanned using a resting state fMRI protocol before and 6-month after training. This sample reproduced the aforementioned behavioral effects, and brain functional connectivity changes were observed within the attentional networks (ATN), linked to improvements in inhibitory control. Findings showed stronger relationships between inhibitory control scores and functional connectivity in a right middle frontal gyrus (MFG) cluster in trained children compared to children from the control group. Seed-based analyses revealed that connectivity between the r-MFG and homolateral parietal and superior temporal areas were more strongly related to inhibitory control in trained children compared to the control group. These findings highlight the relevance of computer-based cognitive training, integrated in real-life school environments, in boosting cognitive/academic performance and brain functional connectivity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Impulse control disorders (ICDs) in Parkinson's disease (PD) have been associated with cognitive impulsivity and dopaminergic dysfunction and treatment. The present study tests the neglected hypothesis that the neurofunctional networks involved in motor impulsivity might also be dysfunctional in PD-ICDs. METHODS We performed blind spectral analyses of resting state electroencephalographic (EEG) data in PD patients with and without ICDs to probe the functional integrity of all cortical networks. Analyses were performed directly at the source level after blind source separation. Discrete differences between groups were tested by comparing patients with and without ICDs. Gradual dysfunctions were assessed by means of correlations between power changes and clinical scores reflecting ICD severity (QUIP score). RESULTS Spectral signatures of ICDs were found in the medial prefrontal cortex, the dorsal anterior cingulate and the supplementary motor area, in the beta and gamma bands. Beta power changes in the supplementary motor area were found to predict ICDs severity. CONCLUSION ICDs are associated with abnormal activity within frequency bands and cortical circuits supporting the control of motor response inhibition. SIGNIFICANCE These results bring to the forefront the need to consider, in addition to the classical interpretation based on aberrant mesocorticolimbic reward processing, the issue of motor impulsivity in PD-ICDs and its potential implications for PD therapy.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Parkinson’s disease (PD) has a wide spectrum of symptoms including the presence of psychiatric disease. At present, most treatment plans, comprised of dopaminergic drugs, are chronic and complex. Though dopaminergic agents are quite efficient in managing the motor aspects of the disease, chronic pharmacotherapy specifically with dopamine receptor agonists has been highly linked to the occurrence of Impulse Compulsive disorder (ICD), which can be problematic for individual patients. Recent Findings Much of what is known today about PD-related ICD stems from brain imaging studies, however, evidence is not quite conclusive. Research in the field has been focused on identifying the underlying mechanisms of PD-related ICD and understanding the functions of the structures involved in the reward network. Summary This article presents an update of recent findings from key neuroimaging studies in PD-related ICD, discusses results from controversial studies, and identifies areas for future research in the field.

Abstract
Impulse control and related disorders (ICDs-RD) encompasses a heterogeneous group of disorders that involve pleasurable behaviors performed repetitively, excessively, and compulsively. The key common symptom in all these disorders is the failure to resist an impulse or temptation to control an act or specific behavior, which is ultimately harmful to oneself or others and interferes in major areas of life. The major symptoms of ICDs include pathological gambling (PG), hypersexualtiy (HS), compulsive buying/shopping (CB) and binge eating (BE) functioning. ICDs and ICDs-RD have been included in the behavioral spectrum of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) leading, in some cases, to serious financial, legal and psychosocial devastating consequences. Herein we present the prevalence of ICDs, the risk factors, its pathophysiological mechanisms, the link with agonist dopaminergic therapies and therapeutic managements.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease presents several practical challenges: it can be difficult to distinguish from atypical parkinsonian syndromes, clinical ratings can be insensitive as markers of disease progression, and its non-motor manifestations are not readily assessed in animal models. These challenges, along with others, are beginning to be addressed by innovative imaging methods to characterise Parkinson's disease-specific functional networks across the whole brain and measure their expression in each patient. These signatures can help improve differential diagnosis, guide selection of patients for clinical trials, and quantify treatment responses and placebo effects in individual patients. The primary Parkinson's disease-related metabolic pattern has been replicated in multiple patient populations and used as an outcome measure in clinical trials. It can also be used as a predictor of near-term phenoconversion in prodromal syndromes, such as rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder. Functional network imaging holds great promise for future clinical use in the management of neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
Impulse control disorders (ICDs) in Parkinson's disease (PD) have a high cumulative incidence and negatively impact quality of life. ICDs are influenced by a complex interaction of multiple factors. Although it is now well-recognized that dopaminergic treatments and especially dopamine agonists underpin many ICDs, medications alone are not the sole cause. Susceptibility to ICD is increased in the setting of PD. While causality can be challenging to ascertain, a wide range of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors have been linked to ICDs. Common characteristics of PD patients with ICDs have been consistently identified across many studies; for example, males with an early age of PD onset and dopamine agonist use have a higher risk of ICD. However, not all cases of ICDs in PD can be directly attributable to dopamine, and studies have concluded that additional factors such as genetics, smoking, and/or depression may be more predictive. Beyond dopamine, other ICD associations have been described but remain difficult to explain, including deep brain stimulation surgery, especially in the setting of a reduction in dopaminergic medication use. In this review, we will summarize the demographic, genetic, behavioral, and clinical contributions potentially influencing ICD onset in PD. These associations may inspire future preventative or therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Background Functional MRI (fMRI) has been widely used to study abnormal patterns of functional connectivity at rest in patients with movement disorders such as idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonisms. Methods This manuscript provides an educational review of the current use of resting-state fMRI in the field of parkinsonian syndromes. Results Resting-state fMRI studies have improved the current knowledge about the mechanisms underlying motor and non-motor symptom development and progression in movement disorders. Even if its inclusion in clinical practice is still far away, resting-state fMRI has the potential to be a promising biomarker for early disease detection and prediction. It may also aid in differential diagnosis and monitoring brain responses to therapeutic agents and neurorehabilitation strategies in different movement disorders. Conclusions There is urgent need to identify and validate prodromal biomarkers in PD patients, to perform further studies assessing both overlapping and disease-specific fMRI abnormalities among parkinsonian syndromes, and to continue technical advances to fully realize the potential of fMRI as a tool to monitor the efficacy of chronic therapies.

Abstract
Changes in reward circuitry have been studied extensively in substance and behavioural addictions. However, comparatively little is known about the neurobiology underlying impulse control disorders (ICDs) in Parkinson's disease, which show roughly similar risk factors and behavioural presentations to both stimulant and behavioural addictions. ICDs occur in a subset of susceptible patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) following intake of dopamine replacement therapy (DRT). These behavioural disorders often have debilitating effects on a patient's quality of life and increase caregiver burden. This comprehensive review examined findings of 40 neuroimaging studies of ICDs in PD to determine (a) whether there are putative neurobiological commonalities between traditional substance and behavioural addictions and DRT-induced ICD in PD and (b) opportunities for future studies to advance current neurobiological understanding of the phenomenon. Results revealed that strikingly similar (a) deficits in dopaminergic receptor expression, (b) connectivity changes in corticostriatal circuitry and (c) neural responses to cue exposure are observed in both ICDs in PD and addictive disorders. These findings point to the value of adopting a transdiagnostic approach when studying addicted populations and pave the way for demystifying this peculiar, often-devastating phenomenon in PD that has so far proven extremely difficult to treat and predict with any precision.

Abstract
Among modern neuroimaging modalities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a widely available, non-invasive, and cost-effective method to detect structural and functional abnormalities related to neurodegenerative disorders. In the last decades, MRI have been widely implemented to support PD diagnosis as well as to provide further insights into motor and non-motor symptoms pathophysiology, complications and treatment-related effects. Different aspects of the brain morphology and function may be derived from a single scan, by applying different analytic approaches. Biomarkers of neurodegeneration as well as tissue microstructural changes may be extracted from structural MRI techniques. In this chapter, we analyze the role of structural imaging to differentiate PD patients from controls and to define neural substrates of motor and non-motor PD symptoms. Evidence collected in the premotor PD phase will be also critically discussed. White matter as well as gray matter integrity imaging studies has been reviewed, aiming to highlight points of strength and limits to their potential application in clinical settings.

Abstract
Functional MRI (fMRI) has been widely used to study abnormal patterns of brain connectivity at rest and activation during a variety of tasks in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). fMRI studies in PD have led to a better understanding of many aspects of the disease including both motor and non-motor symptoms. Although its translation into clinical practice is still at an early stage, fMRI measures hold promise for multiple clinical applications in PD, including the early detection, predicting future change in clinical status, and as a marker of alterations in brain physiology related to neurotherapeutic agents and neurorehabilitative strategies.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder accompanied by a series of pathological mechanisms which contribute to a variety of motor and non-motor symptoms. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in structural diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in PD which has shed light on our understanding of structural abnormalities underlying PD symptoms or its associations with pathological mechanisms. One of the white matter tracts shown to be disrupted in PD with a possible contribution to some PD symptoms is the inferior longitudinal fasciculus (ILF). On the whole, lower ILF integrity contributes to thought disorders, impaired visual emotions, cognitive impairments such as semantic fluency deficits, and mood disorders. This review outlines the microstructural changes in ILF associated with systemic inflammation and various PD symptoms like cognitive decline, facial emotion recognition deficit, depression, color discrimination deficit, olfactory dysfunction, and tremor genesis. However, few studies have investigated DTI correlates of each symptom and larger studies with standardized imaging protocols are required to extend these preliminary findings and lead to more promising results.

Abstract
Impulse control disorders (ICDs) are relatively frequent in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), although it is still unclear whether an underlying pathological process plays a significant role in the development of ICD in PD apart from dopaminergic replacement therapy. In this study, we have investigated alterations of white matter tract in drug-naïve PD patients with ICDs via diffusion MRI connectometry. Our results showed that disrupted connectivity in the complex network of dynamic connections between cerebellum, basal ganglia, cortex, and its spinal projections serves as the underlying neuropathology of ICD in PD not interfered with the contribution of dopaminergic replacement therapy. These findings provide the first evidence on involved white matter tracts in the neuropathogenesis of ICD in drug-naïve PD population, supporting the hypothesis that neural disturbances intrinsic to PD may confer an increased risk for ICDs. Future studies are needed to validate the attribution of the impaired corticocerebellar network to impulsivity in PD.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common, progressive and multisystem neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms. Advanced magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, and functional magnetic resonance imaging can render the view toward understanding the neural basis of these non-motor syndromes, as they help to understand the underlying pathophysiological abnormalities. This review provides an up-to-date description of structural and functional brain alterations in patients with PD with cognitive deficits, visual hallucinations, fatigue, impulsive behavior disorders, sleep disorders, and pain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess brain white matter tract alterations in patients with Parkinson's disease and punding (PD-punding) compared with controls and PD cases without any impulsive-compulsive behaviour. METHODS Forty-nine PD patients (21 PD-punding and 28 PD with no impulsive-compulsive behaviours) and 28 controls were consecutively recruited. Clinical, cognitive and psychopathological evaluations were performed. Diffusion tensor MRI metrics of the main white matter tracts were assessed using a tractography approach. RESULTS Compared with controls, both PD groups showed white matter microstructural alterations of the left pedunculopontine tract and splenium of the corpus callosum. PD-punding patients showed a further damage to the right pedunculopontine tract and uncinate fasciculus, genu of the corpus callosum, and left parahippocampal tract relative to controls. When adjusting for depression and/or apathy severity, a greater damage of the genu of the corpus callosum and the left pedunculopontine tract was found in PD-punding compared with patients with no impulsive-compulsive behaviours. CONCLUSIONS PD-punding is associated with a disconnection between midbrain, limbic and white matter tracts projecting to the frontal cortices. These alterations are at least partially independent of their psychopathological changes. Diffusion tensor MRI is a powerful tool for understanding the neural substrates underlying punding in PD.
