[PMID: 38508469 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2024.110933] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to elucidate brain areas mediated by oral anti-parkinsonian medicine that consistently show abnormal resting-state activation in PD and to reveal their functional connectivity profiles using meta-analytic approaches. METHODS Searches of the PubMed, Web of Science databases identified 78 neuroimaging studies including PD OFF state (PD-OFF) versus (vs.) PD ON state (PD-ON) or PD-ON versus healthy controls (HCs) or PD-OFF versus HCs data. Coordinate-based meta-analysis and functional meta-analytic connectivity modeling (MACM) were performed using the activation likelihood estimation algorithm. RESULTS Brain activation in PD-OFF vs. PD-ON was significantly changed in the right putamen and left inferior parietal lobule (IPL). Contrast analysis indicated that PD-OFF vs. HCs had more consistent activation in the right paracentral lobule, right middle frontal gyrus, right thalamus, left superior parietal lobule and right putamen, whereas PD-ON vs. HCs elicited more consistent activation in the bilateral middle temporal gyrus, left occipital gyrus, right inferior frontal gyrus and right caudate. MACM revealed coactivation of the right putamen in the direct contrast of PD-OFF vs. PD-ON. Subtraction analysis of significant coactivation clusters for PD-OFF vs. PD-ON with the medium of HCs showed effects in the sensorimotor, top-down control, and visual networks. By overlapping the MACM maps of the two analytical strategies, we demonstrated that the coactivated brain region focused on the right putamen. CONCLUSIONS The convergence of local brain regions and co-activation neural networks are involved the putamen, suggesting its potential as a specific imaging biomarker to monitor treatment efficacy.

Neuroimaging correlates of postural instability in Parkinson's disease. J Neurol 2024; 271:1910-1920.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postural instability (PI) is a common disabling symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD), but little is known on its pathophysiological basis. OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to identify the brain structures associated with PI in PD patients, using different MRI approaches. METHODS We consecutively enrolled 142 PD patients and 45 control subjects. PI was assessed using the MDS-UPDRS-III pull-test item (PT). A whole-brain regression analysis identified brain areas where grey matter (GM) volume correlated with the PT score in PD patients. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and Tract-Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS) were also used to compare unsteady (PT ≥ 1) and steady (PT = 0) PD patients. Associations between GM volume in regions of interest (ROI) and several clinical features were then investigated using LASSO regression analysis. RESULTS PI was present in 44.4% of PD patients. The whole-brain approach identified the bilateral inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and superior temporal gyrus (STG) as the only regions associated with the presence of postural instability. VBM analysis showed reduced GM volume in fronto-temporal areas (superior, middle, medial and inferior frontal gyrus, and STG) in unsteady compared with steady PD patients, and the GM volume of these regions was selectively associated with the PT score and not with any other motor or non-motor symptom. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates a significant atrophy of fronto-temporal regions in unsteady PD patients, suggesting that these brain areas may play a role in the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying postural instability in PD. This result paves the way for further studies on postural instability in Parkinsonism.

Microstructural and functional alterations of the ventral pallidum are associated with levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease. Eur J Neurol 2024; 31:e16147. [PMID: 37975786 DOI: 10.1111/ene.16147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2022] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The ventral pallidum (VP) regulates involuntary movements, but it is unclear whether the VP regulates the abnormal involuntary movements in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who have levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). To further understand the role of the VP in PD patients with LID (PD-LID), we explored the structural and functional characteristics of the VP in such patients using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Thirty-one PD-LID patients, 39 PD patients without LID (PD-nLID), and 28 healthy controls (HCs) underwent T1-weighted MRI, quantitative susceptibility mapping, multi-shell diffusion MRI, and resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI). Different measures characterizing the VP were obtained using a region-of-interest-based approach. RESULTS The left VP in the PD-LID group showed significantly higher intracellular volume fraction (ICVF) and isotropic volume fraction (IsoVF) compared with the PD-nLID and HC groups. Rs-MRI revealed that, compared with the PD-nLID group, the PD-LID group in the medication 'off' state had higher functional connectivity (FC) between the left VP and the left anterior caudate, left middle frontal gyrus and left precentral gyrus, as well as between the right VP and the right posterior ventral putamen and right mediodorsal thalamus. In addition, the ICVF values of the left VP, the FC between the left VP and the left anterior caudate and left middle frontal gyrus were positively correlated with Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale scores. CONCLUSION Our multimodal imaging findings show that the microstructural changes of the VP (i.e., the higher ICVF and IsoVF) and the functional change in the ventral striatum-VP-mediodorsal thalamus-cortex network may be associated with pathophysiological mechanisms of PD-LID.

Abstract
Levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LIDs) are a common complication in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). A complex cascade of electrophysiological and molecular events that induce aberrant plasticity in the cortico-basal ganglia system plays a key role in the pathophysiology of LIDs. In the striatum, multiple neurotransmitters regulate the different forms of physiological synaptic plasticity to provide it in a bidirectional and Hebbian manner. In PD, impairment of both long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) progresses with disease and dopaminergic denervation of striatum. The altered balance between LTP and LTD processes leads to unidirectional changes in plasticity that cause network dysregulation and the development of involuntary movements. These alterations have been documented, in both experimental models and PD patients, not only in deep brain structures but also at motor cortex. Invasive and non-invasive neuromodulation treatments, as deep brain stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, or transcranial direct current stimulation, may provide strategies to modulate the aberrant plasticity in the cortico-basal ganglia network of patients affected by LIDs, thus restoring normal neurophysiological functioning and treating dyskinesias. In this review, we discuss the evidence for neuroplasticity impairment in experimental PD models and in patients affected by LIDs, and potential neuromodulation strategies that may modulate aberrant plasticity.

Abstract
Background Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), as a non-invasive neuromodulation technique, has been widely used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). The increasing application of TMS has promoted an increasing number of clinical studies. In this paper, a bibliometric analysis of existing studies was conducted to reveal current research hotspots and guide future research directions. Method Relevant articles and reviews were obtained from the Science Citation Index Expanded of Web of Science Core Collection database. Data related to publications, countries, institutions, authors, journals, citations, and keywords in the studies included in the review were systematically analyzed using VOSviewer 1.6.18 and Citespace 6.2.4 software. Result A total of 1,894 papers on the topic of TMS in PD between 1991 and 2022 were analyzed and visualized to identify research hotspots and trends in the field. The number of annual publications in this field of study has increased gradually over the past 30 years, with the number of annual publications peaking in 2022 (n = 150). In terms of publications and total citations, countries, institutions, and authors from North America and Western Europe were found to make significant contributions to the field. The current hotspot focuses on the effectiveness of TMS for PD in different stimulation modes or different stimulated brain regions. The keyword analysis indicates that the latest research is oriented to the mechanism study of TMS for motor symptoms in PD, and the non-motor symptoms are also receiving more attention. Conclusion Our study offers insights into the current hotspots and emerging trends of TMS in the rehabilitation of PD. These findings may serve as a guide for future research and the application of TMS for PD.

Abstract
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive brain modulation and rehabilitation technique used in patients with neuropsychiatric diseases. rTMS can structurally remodel or functionally induce activities of specific cortical regions and has developed to an important therapeutic method in such patients. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides brain data that can be used as an explanation tool for the neural mechanisms underlying rTMS effects; brain alterations related to different functions or structures may be reflected in changes in the interaction and influence of brain connections within intrinsic specific networks. In this review, we discuss the technical details of rTMS and the biological interpretation of brain networks identified with MRI analyses, comprehensively summarize the neurobiological effects in rTMS-modulated individuals, and elaborate on changes in the brain network in patients with various neuropsychiatric diseases receiving rehabilitation treatment with rTMS. We conclude that brain connectivity network analysis based on MRI can reflect alterations in functional and structural connectivity networks comprising adjacent and separated brain regions related to stimulation sites, thus reflecting the occurrence of intrinsic functional integration and neuroplasticity. Therefore, MRI is a valuable tool for understanding the neural mechanisms of rTMS and practically tailoring treatment plans for patients with neuropsychiatric diseases.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to clarify the dynamic neural activity of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS Using dynamic functional network connectivity (dFNC) analysis, we evaluated 41 PD patients with LID (LID group) and 34 PD patients without LID (No-LID group). Group spatial independent component analysis and sliding-window approach were employed. Moreover, we applied a k-means clustering algorithm on windowed functional connectivity (FC) matrices to identify reoccurring FC patterns (i.e., states). RESULTS The optimal number of states was determined to be five, the so-called State 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. In ON phase, compared with No-LID group, LID group occurred more frequently and dwelled longer in strongly connected State 1, characterized by strong positive connections between visual network (VIS) and sensorimotor network (SMN). When switching from OFF to ON phase, LID group occurred less frequently in State 3 and State 4. Meanwhile, LID group dwelled longer in State 2 and shorter in State 3. No-LID group occurred more frequently in State 5 and less frequently in State 3. Additionally, correlation analysis demonstrated that dyskinesia's severity was associated with frequency of occurrence and dwell time in State 2, dominated by inferior frontal cortex in cognitive executive network (CEN). CONCLUSION Using dFNC analysis, we found that dyskinesia may be related to the dysfunctional inhibition of CEN on motor loops and excessive excitation of VIS and SMN, which provided evidence of the changes in brain dynamics associated with the occurrence of dyskinesia.

Abstract
Dyskinesia is one of the most disabling motor complications in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Sleep is crucial to keep neural circuit homeostasis, and PD patients often suffer from sleep disturbance. However, few prospective studies have been conducted to investigate the association of sleep quality with dyskinesia in PD. The objective of the current study is to investigate the association between sleep quality and dyskinesia and build a prediction model for dyskinesia in PD. We prospectively followed a group of PD patients without dyskinesia at baseline for a maximum of 36 months. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression with stepwise variable selection was used to investigate risk factors for dyskinesia. The performance of the model was assessed by the time-dependent area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC). At the end of follow-up, 32.8% of patients developed dyskinesia. Patients with bad sleep quality had a significantly higher proportion of dyskinesia compared with those with good sleep quality (48.1% vs. 20.6%, p = 0.023). Multivariable Cox regression selected duration of PD, sleep quality, cognition, mood, and levodopa dose. Notably, high Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score was independently associated with an increased risk of dyskinesia (HR = 2.96, 95% CI 1.05-8.35, p = 0.041). The model achieved a good discriminative ability, with the highest AUC being 0.83 at 35 months. Our results indicated that high PSQI score may increase the risk of developing dyskinesia in PD, implying that therapeutic intervention targeting improving sleep quality may be a promising approach to prevent or delay the development of dyskinesia in PD.

Abstract
The cerebellum is associated with the emergence of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson’s disease (PD), yet the neural mechanism remains obscure. Our aim was to ascertain the role of functional connectivity (FC) patterns of the cerebellar dentate nucleus (DN) in the pathogenesis of peak-dose dyskinesia in PD. Twenty-three peak-dose dyskinetic PD patients, 27 non-dyskinetic PD patients, and 36 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled and underwent T1-weighted and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) scans after dopaminergic medication intake. We selected left and right DN as the regions of interest and then employed voxel-wise FC analysis and voxel-based morphometry analysis (VBM). The correlations between the altered FC pattern and clinical scores were also examined. Finally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to assess the potential of DN FC measures as a feature of peak-dose dyskinesia in PD. Dyskinetic PD patients showed excessively increased FC between the left DN and right putamen compared with the non-dyskinetic. When compared with controls, dyskinetic PD patients mainly exhibited increased FC between left DN and bilateral putamen, left paracentral lobule, right postcentral gyrus, and supplementary motor area. Additionally, non-dyskinetic PD patients displayed increased FC between left DN and left precentral gyrus and right paracentral lobule compared with controls. Meanwhile, increased FC between DN (left/right) and ipsilateral cerebellum lobule VIII was observed in both PD subgroups. However, no corresponding alteration in gray matter volume (GMV) was found. Further, a positive correlation between the z-FC values of left DN-right putamen and the Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS) was confirmed in dyskinetic PD patients. Notably, ROC curve analyses revealed that the z-FC values of left DN-right putamen could be a potential neuroimaging feature identifying dyskinetic PD patients. Our findings demonstrated that the excessively strengthened connectivity of DN-putamen might contribute to the pathophysiological mechanisms of peak-dose dyskinesia in PD.

Phosphodiesterase 10A Inhibition Modulates the Corticostriatal Activity and L-DOPA-Induced Dyskinesia. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15080947. [PMID: 36015095 PMCID: PMC9415800 DOI: 10.3390/ph15080947] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Revised: 07/20/2022] [Accepted: 07/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
The facilitation of corticostriatal transmission is modulated by the pharmacological inhibition of striatal phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A). Since L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia is associated with abnormal corticostriatal transmission, we hypothesized that inhibition of PDE10A would modulate L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) by regulating corticostriatal activity. 6-OHDA-lesioned rats were chronically treated with L-DOPA for one week. After that, for two additional weeks, animals were treated with the PDE10A inhibitor PDM-042 (1 and 3 mg/kg) one hour before L-DOPA. Behavioral analyses were performed to quantify abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) and to assess the antiparkinsonian effects of L-DOPA. Single-unit extracellular electrophysiological recordings were performed in vivo to characterize the responsiveness of MSNs to cortical stimulation. The low dose of PDM-042 had an antidyskinetic effect (i.e., attenuated peak-dose dyskinesia) and did not interfere with cortically evoked spike activity. Conversely, the high dose of PDM-042 did not affect peak-dose dyskinesia, prolonged AIMs, and increased cortically evoked spike activity. These data suggest that the facilitation of corticostriatal transmission is likely to contribute to the expression of AIMs. Therefore, cyclic nucleotide manipulation is an essential target in controlling LID.

Abstract
BackgroundDespite the clinical impact of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson's disease (PD), the mechanism, especially the role of basal ganglia (BG), is not fully elucidated yet. We investigated the BG structural changes related to LID in PD using a surface-based shape analysis technique.MethodsWe recruited patients with PD who developed LID within 3 years (LID group, 28 patients) and who did not develop it after 7 years (non-LID group, 35 patients) from levodopa treatment for the extreme case-control study. BG structure volumes were measured using volumetry analysis and the surface-based morphometry feature (i.e., Jacobian) from the subcortical surface vertices. We compared the volume and Jacobian of meshes in the regions between the two groups. We also performed a correlation analysis between local atrophy and the severity of LID. Additionally, we evaluated structural connectivity profiles from globus pallidus interna and externa (GPi and GPe) to other brain structures based on the group comparison.ResultsThe demographic and clinical data showed no significant difference except for disease duration, treatment duration, parkinsonism severity, and levodopa equivalent dose. The LID group had more local atrophies of vertices in the right GPi than the non-LID group, despite no difference in volumes. Furthermore, the LID group demonstrated significantly reduced structural connectivity between left GPi and thalamus.ConclusionThis is the first demonstration of distinct shape alterations of basal ganglia structures, especially GPi, related to LID in PD. Considering both direct and indirect BG pathways share the connection between GPi and thalamus, the BG pathway plays a crucial role in the development of LID.

Abstract
l-Dopa-induced dyskinesias (LIDs) are a frequent complication in l-dopa-treated patients affected by Parkinson's disease (PD). In the last years, several progresses in the knowledge of LIDs mechanisms have led to the identification of several molecular and electrophysiologic events. A complex cascade of intracellular events underlies the pathophysiology of LIDs, and, among these, aberrant plasticity in the cortico-basal ganglia system, at striatal and cortical level, plays a key role. Furthermore, several recent studies have investigated genetic susceptibility and epigenetic modifications in LIDs pathophysiology that might have future relevance in clinical practice and pharmacologic research. These progresses might lead to the development of specific strategies not only to treat, but also to prevent or delay the development of LIDs in PD.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Alleviates Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia in Parkinson's Disease and the Related Mechanisms: A Mini-Review. Front Neurol 2021; 12:758345.

Abstract
After long-term use of levodopa, Parkinson's patients almost inevitably develop dyskinesia, a kind of drug side effect manifesting as uncontrollable choreic movements and dystonia, which could be crippling yet have limited therapeutic options. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is the most widely studied non-invasive neuromodulation technology to treat levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Many studies have shown that transcranial magnetic stimulation has beneficial effects on levodopa-induced dyskinesia and is patient-tolerable, barely with reported adverse effects. Changes in brain connectivity, neuroplasticity, neurotransmitter, neurorestoration, and blood flow modulation could play crucial roles in the efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation for levodopa-induced dyskinesia. The appearance of new modes and application for emerging targets are possible solutions for transcranial magnetic stimulation to achieve sustained efficacy. Since the sample size in all available studies is small, more randomized double-blind controlled studies are needed to elucidate the specific treatment mechanisms and optimize treatment parameters.

Histological Correlates of Neuroanatomical Changes in a Rat Model of Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia Based on Voxel-Based Morphometry. Front Aging Neurosci 2021; 13:759934.

Abstract
Long-term therapy with levodopa (L-DOPA) in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) often triggers motor complications termed as L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). However, few studies have explored the pathogenesis of LID from the perspective of neuroanatomy. This study aimed to investigate macroscopic structural changes in a rat model of LID and the underlying histological mechanisms. First, we established the hemiparkinsonism rat model through stereotaxic injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into the right medial forebrain bundle, followed by administration of saline (PD) or L-DOPA to induce LID. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and behavioral evaluations were performed at different time points. Histological analysis was conducted to assess the correlations between MRI signal changes and cellular contributors. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analysis revealed progressive bilateral volume reduction in the cortical and subcortical areas in PD rats compared with the sham rats. These changes were partially reversed by chronic L-DOPA administration; moreover, there was a significant volume increase mainly in the dorsolateral striatum, substantia nigra, and piriform cortex of the lesioned side compared with that of PD rats. At the striatal cellular level, glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive (GFAP+) astrocytes were significantly increased in the lesioned dorsolateral striatum of PD rats compared with the intact side and the sham group. Prolonged L-DOPA treatment further increased GFAP levels. Neither 6-OHDA damage nor L-DOPA treatment influenced the striatal expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Additionally, there was a considerable increase in synapse-associated proteins (SYP, PSD95, and SAP97) in the lesioned striatum of LID rats relative to the PD rats. Golgi-Cox staining analysis of the dendritic spine morphology revealed an increased density of dendritic spines after chronic L-DOPA treatment. Taken together, our findings suggest that striatal volume changes in LID rats involve astrocyte activation, enrichment of synaptic ultrastructure and signaling proteins in the ipsilateral striatum. Meanwhile, the data highlight the enormous potential of structural MRI, especially VBM analysis, in determining the morphological phenotype of rodent models of LID.

Abstract
Consensus criteria on corticobasal degeneration (CBD) include alien limb (AL) phenomena. However, the gist of the behavioral features of AL is still “a matter of debate.” CBD-related AL has so far included the description of involuntary movements, frontal release phenomena (frontal AL), or asomatognosia (posterior or “real” AL). In this context, the most frequent symptoms are language and praxis deficits and cortical sensory misperception. However, asomatognosia requires, by definition, intact perception and cognition. Thus, to make a proper diagnosis of AL in the context of CBD, cognitive and language dysfunctions must be carefully verified and objectively assessed. We reviewed the current literature on AL in CBD and now propose that the generic use of the term AL should be avoided. This catchall AL term should instead be deconstructed. We propose that the term AL is appropriate to describe clinical features associated with specific brain lesions. More discrete sets of regionally bound clinical signs that depend on dysfunctions of specific brain areas need to be assessed and presented when posing the diagnosis. Thus, in our opinion, the AL term should be employed in association with precise descriptions of the accompanying involuntary movements, sensory misperceptions, agnosia-asomatognosia contents, and the presence of utilization behavior. The review also offers an overview of functional magnetic resonance imaging-based studies evaluating AL-related phenomena. In addition, we provide a complementary set of video clips depicting CBD-related involuntary movements that should not mistakenly be interpreted as signs of AL.

Functional connectivity of spoken language processing in early-stage Parkinson's disease: An MEG study. NEUROIMAGE-CLINICAL 2021; 32:102718.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, well-known for its motor symptoms; however, it also adversely affects cognitive functions, including language, a highly important human ability. PD pathology is associated, even in the early stage of the disease, with alterations in the functional connectivity within cortico-subcortical circuitry of the basal ganglia as well as within cortical networks. Here, we investigated functional cortical connectivity related to spoken language processing in early-stage PD patients. We employed a patient-friendly passive attention-free paradigm to probe neurophysiological correlates of language processing in PD patients without confounds related to active attention and overt motor responses. MEG data were recorded from a group of newly diagnosed PD patients and age-matched healthy controls who were passively presented with spoken word stimuli (action and abstract verbs, as well as grammatically correct and incorrect inflectional forms) while focussing on watching a silent movie. For each of the examined linguistic aspects, a logistic regression classifier was used to classify participants as either PD patients or healthy controls based on functional connectivity within the temporo-fronto-parietal cortical language networks. Classification was successful for action verbs (accuracy = 0.781, p-value = 0.003) and, with lower accuracy, for abstract verbs (accuracy = 0.688, p-value = 0.041) and incorrectly inflected forms (accuracy = 0.648, p-value = 0.021), but not for correctly inflected forms (accuracy = 0.523, p-value = 0.384). Our findings point to quantifiable differences in functional connectivity within the cortical systems underpinning language processing in newly diagnosed PD patients compared to healthy controls, which arise early, in the absence of clinical evidence of deficits in cognitive or general language functions. The techniques presented here may aid future work on establishing neurolinguistic markers to objectively and noninvasively identify functional changes in the brain's language networks even before clinical symptoms emerge.

Abstract
This mini-review provides a detailed outline of studies that have used multimodal approaches in non-invasive brain stimulation to investigate the pathophysiology of the three common movement disorders, namely, essential tremor, Parkinson’s disease, and dystonia. Using specific search terms and filters in the PubMed® database, we finally shortlisted 27 studies in total that were relevant to this review. While two-thirds (Brittain et al., 2013) of these studies were performed on Parkinson’s disease patients, we could find only three studies that were conducted in patients with essential tremor. We clearly show that although multimodal non-invasive brain stimulation holds immense potential in unraveling the physiological mechanisms that are disrupted in movement disorders, the technical challenges and pitfalls of combining these methods may hinder their widespread application by movement disorder specialists. A multidisciplinary team with clinical and technical expertise may be crucial in reaping the fullest benefits from such novel multimodal approaches.

Abstract
The subthalamic nucleus is part of a global stopping network that also includes the presupplementary motor area and inferior frontal gyrus of the right hemisphere. In Parkinson's disease, subthalamic deep brain stimulation improves movement initiation and velocity, but its effect on stopping of ongoing movement is unknown. Here, we examine the relation between movement stopping and connectivity of stimulation volumes to the stopping network. Stop and go times were collected in 17 patients with Parkinson's disease on and off subthalamic stimulation during visually cued initiation and termination of continuous, rotational movements. Deep brain stimulation contacts were localized; the stimulation volume computed and connectivity profiles estimated using an openly available, normative structural connectome. Subthalamic stimulation significantly increased stop times, which correlated with the connectivity of the stimulation volume to presupplementary motor area and inferior frontal gyrus of the right hemisphere. The robustness of this finding was validated using three separate analysis streams: voxel-wise whole-brain connectivity, region of interest connectivity and a tract-centred method. Our study sheds light on the role of the fronto-subthalamic inhibitory triangle in stopping of ongoing movements and may inspire circuit based adaptive stimulation strategies for control of stopping impairment, possibly reflected in stimulation-induced dyskinesia.

Opposite effects of one session of 1 Hz rTMS on functional connectivity between pre-supplementary motor area and putamen depending on the dyskinesia state in Parkinson's disease. Clin Neurophysiol 2021; 132:851-856. [PMID: 33636601 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2020.12.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2020] [Revised: 11/23/2020] [Accepted: 12/09/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF rTMS) on cortico-striatal-cerebellar resting state functional connectivity in Parkinson's disease (PD), with and without dyskinesias. METHODS Because there is increasing evidence of an involvement of the pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) in the pathophysiology of levodopa induced dyskinesias, we targeted the right pre-SMA with LF rTMS in 17 PD patients. We explored the effects of one sham-controlled LF rTMS session on resting state functional connectivity of interconnected brain regions by using functional MRI, and how it is modified by levodopa. The clinical effect on motor function and dyskinesias was documented. RESULTS As expected, one LF rTMS session did not alleviate dyskinesias. However, real, and not sham LF rTMS significantly increased the functional connectivity with the right putamen in patients with dyskinesias. In patients without dyskinesias, the real LF rTMS session significantly decreased functional connectivity in the right putamen and the cerebellum. We found no effects on functional connectivity after levodopa ingestion. CONCLUSION One session of 1 Hz rTMS has opposing effects on pre-SMA functional connectivity depending on the PD patients' dyskinesia state. SIGNIFICANCE Patients dyskinesias state determines the way LF rTMS affects functional connectivity in late stage PD.

Cognitive impairment and levodopa induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease: a longitudinal study from the PACOS cohort. Sci Rep 2021; 11:867. [PMID: 33441571 PMCID: PMC7806828 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-79110-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2020] [Accepted: 11/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim of the study was to evaluate possible associations between cognitive dysfunctions and development of Levodopa Induced Dyskinesia (LID). PD patients from the Parkinson’s disease Cognitive impairment Study cohort who underwent a baseline and follow-up neuropsychological evaluations were enrolled. Mild Cognitive Impairment (PD-MCI) was diagnosed according to MDS level II criteria. The following cognitive domains were evaluated: episodic memory, attention, executive function, visuo-spatial function and language. A domain was considered as impaired when the subject scored 2 standard deviation below normality cut-off values in at least one test for each domain. Levodopa equivalent dose, UPDRS-ME and LID were recorded at baseline and follow-up. To identify possible neuropsychological predictors associated with the probability of LID development at follow-up, Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used. Out of 139 PD patients enrolled (87 men, mean age 65.7 ± 9.4), 18 (12.9%) were dyskinetic at baseline. Out of 121 patients non-dyskinetic at baseline, 22 (18.1%) developed LID at follow-up. The impairment of the attention and executive domains strongly predicted the development of LID (HR 4.45;95%CI 1.49–13.23 and HR 3.46; 95%CI 1.26–9.48 respectively). Impairment of the attention and executive domains increased the risk of dyskinesia reflecting the alteration of common cortical network.

Low-frequency transcranial stimulation of pre-supplementary motor area alleviates levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease: a randomized cross-over trial. Brain Commun 2020; 2:fcaa147.

Abstract
Levodopa-induced dyskinesia gradually emerges during long-term dopamine therapy, causing major disability in patients with Parkinson disease. Using pharmacodynamic functional MRI, we have previously shown that the intake of levodopa triggers an excessive activation of the pre-supplementary motor area in Parkinson disease patients with peak-of-dose dyskinesia. In this pre-registered, interventional study, we tested whether the abnormal responsiveness of the pre-supplementary motor area to levodopa may constitute a ‘stimulation target’ for treating dyskinesia. A gender-balanced group of 17 Parkinson disease patients with peak-of-dose dyskinesia received 30 min of robot-assisted repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, after they had paused their anti-Parkinson medication. Real-repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation at 100% or sham-repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation at 30% of individual resting corticomotor threshold of left first dorsal interosseous muscle was applied on separate days in counterbalanced order. Following repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, patients took 200 mg of oral levodopa and underwent functional MRI to map brain activity, while they performed the same go/no-go task as in our previous study. Blinded video assessment revealed that real-repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation delayed the onset of dyskinesia and reduced its severity relative to sham-repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. Individual improvement in dyskinesia severity scaled linearly with the modulatory effect of real-repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on task-related activation in the pre-supplementary motor area. Stimulation-induced delay in dyskinesia onset correlated positively with the induced electrical field strength in the pre-supplementary motor area. Our results provide converging evidence that the levodopa-triggered increase in pre-supplementary motor area activity plays a causal role in the pathophysiology of peak-of-dose dyskinesia and constitutes a promising cortical target for brain stimulation therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) is a disabling complication of Parkinson's disease (PD). Imaging-based measurements, especially those related to the surface shape of the basal ganglia, have shown potential for explaining the severity of LID in PD. Here, we aimed to explore a novel application of the methodology to find biomarkers of LID severity in PD using regularization. METHODS We proposed an application of graph-constrained elastic net (GraphNet) regularization to detect surface-based shape biomarkers explaining the severity of LID and compared the approach with other conventional regularization methods. To examine the methods, we used two independent datasets, one as a training dataset to build the model, and the other dataset was used to validate the constructed model. RESULTS We found that the left striatum (putamen was the greatest and the caudate was second) was the most significant surface-based biomarker related to the severity of LID. Our results improved the interpretability of identified surface-based biomarkers compared to competing methods. We also found that GraphNet regularization improved prediction of the severity of LID better than the conventional regularization methods. Our model performed better in terms of root-mean-squared error and correlation coefficient between predicted and actual clinical scores. CONCLUSION The proposed algorithm offers an advantage of interpretable anatomical variations related to the deformation of the cortical surface. The experimental results showed that GraphNet regularization was robust to identify surface-based shape biomarkers related to both hypokinetic and hyperkinetic movement disorders.

Abstract
Alterations in brain function in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with diphasic dyskinesia have not been investigated. We aimed to explore the alterations in regional brain function. Each of 53 levodopa (LD)-treated PD patients had two resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) scans in the same morning, before and after taking LD. The regional homogeneity (ReHo) approach was used to reveal local synchronization changes. Two-way factorial repeated measures analysis of covariance, with group as a between-subject factor and LD effect as a within-subject factor, was performed to explore the two main effects and interaction. Interactive analysis was used to show outcomes that combined disease status and LD effect. Spearman's correlations were used to detect associations between interactive brain regions and severity of dyskinetic symptoms, assessed by the Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDyRS) scores, along with moderation analyses. There was no significant difference in the main group effect analysis. Significantly different clusters obtained from main LD effect analysis were in left caudate nucleus and putamen. ReHo values decreased in the caudate nucleus and increased in the putamen during the ON state after taking LD. Interaction between group and LD effect was found in left medial superior frontal gyrus (mSFG), where there were the lowest ReHo values, and was negatively correlated with UDyRS scores in the diphasic dyskinetic group during the ON state. The relationship was independent of LD dose. Abnormal local synchronization in the mSFG is closely associated with the development of diphasic dyskinesia in PD patients.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is becoming a major public-health issue in an aging population. Available approaches to treat advanced PD still have limitations; new therapies are needed. The non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) may offer a complementary approach to treat advanced PD by personalized stimulation. Although NIBS is not as effective as the gold-standard levodopa, recent randomized controlled trials show promising outcomes in the treatment of PD symptoms. Nevertheless, only a few NIBS-stimulation paradigms have shown to improve PD's symptoms. Current clinical recommendations based on the level of evidence are reported in Table 1 through Table 3. Furthermore, novel technological advances hold promise and may soon enable the non-invasive stimulation of deeper brain structures for longer periods.

Abstract
Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (RS-fMRI) studies have been extensively applied to analyze the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). In the present narrative review, we attempt to summarize the most recent RS-fMRI findings highlighting the role of brain networks re-organization and adaptation in the course of PD. We also discuss limitations and potential definition of early functional connectivity signatures to track and predict future PD progression. Understanding the neural correlates and potential predisposing factors of clinical progression and complication will be crucial to guide novel clinical trials and to foster preventive strategies.

Abstract
Levodopa-induced dyskinesias are common motor complication of Parkinson's disease after 4-6 years of treatment. The hallmarks of dyskinesias include unilateral onset and the tendency to appear on the more affected body sides. There is a growing literature documenting the lateralization abnormalities are associated with the emergence of dyskinesias. Our investigation aimed to explore interhemispheric functional and its corresponding morphological asymmetry. A total of 22 dyskinetic patients, 23 nondyskinetic patients, and 26 controls were enrolled. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans were performed twice before and after dopaminergic medication. Voxel-mirrored Homotopic Connectivity (VMHC) and Freesurfer were employed to assess the synchronicity of functional connectivity and structural alternations between hemispheres. During OFF state, dyskinetic patients showed desynchronization of inferior frontal cortex (IFC) when compared to nondyskinetic patients. And during ON state, dyskinetic patients showed desynchronization of IFC and pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) when compared to nondyskinetic patients. However, there was no corresponding significant asymmetries in cortical thickness. Moreover, the degree of desynchronization of IFC and pre-SMA in dyskinetic pateients during ON state were negatively correlated with the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) scores. Notably, among patients who showed asymmetrical dyskinesias, there was a significant negative correlation between VMHC values of IFC and dyskinesias symptom asymmetry. Our findings suggested that uncoordinated inhibitory control over motor circuits may underlie the neural mechanisms of dyskinesias in Parkinson's disease and be related to its severity and lateralization.

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 severity of motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) does not always correlate with the degree of nigral dopaminergic neuronal loss. Individuals with greater motor reserve may have milder motor signs than their striatal dopamine loss. In this study, we explored the functional brain network associated with motor reserve in early-stage PD. METHODS We analyzed 134 patients with de novo PD who underwent dopamine transporter scans and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. We estimated individual motor reserve based on initial motor deficits and striatal dopamine depletion using a residual model. We applied network-based statistic analysis to identify the functional brain network associated with the measure of motor reserve (ie, motor reserve network). We also assessed the effect of motor reserve network connectivity strength on the longitudinal increase in levodopa-equivalent dose during the 2-year follow-up period. RESULTS Network-based statistic analysis identified the motor reserve network composed of the basal ganglia, inferior frontal cortex, insula, and cerebellar vermis at a primary threshold of P value 0.001. Patients with an increased degree of functional connectivity within the motor reserve network had greater motor reserve. There was a significant interaction between the motor reserve network strength and time in the linear mixed model, indicating that higher motor reserve network strength was associated with slower longitudinal increase in levodopa-equivalent dose. CONCLUSIONS The present study revealed the functional brain network associated with motor reserve in patients with early-stage PD. Functional connections within the motor reserve network are associated with the individual's capacity to cope with PD-related pathologies. © 2020 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
Objective To investigate whether the burden of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) is associated with the risk of developing levodopa‐induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Methods According to the Clinical Research Center for Dementia of South Korea WMH visual rating scale, 336 patients with drug‐naïve early stage PD (follow‐up >3 years) were divided into two groups of PD with minimal WMHs (PD‐WMH–; n = 227) and moderate‐to‐severe WMHs (PD‐WMH+; n = 109). The Cox regression model was used to estimate the hazard ratio for the development of LID in the PD‐WMH + group compared with the PD‐WMH– group, while adjusting for age at PD onset, sex, striatal dopamine depletion, and PD medication dose. Additionally, we assessed the effects of WMH burden rated by the Scheltens scale and regional WMH distribution on the development of LID. Results Patients in the PD‐WMH + group were older and had more severe parkinsonian motor signs despite comparable striatal dopamine transporter availability than those in the PD‐WMH– group. Patients in the PD‐WMH + group had a higher risk of developing LID (hazard ratio, 2.66; P < 0.001) than those in the PD‐WMH– group after adjustment for other confounding factors. A greater WMH burden was associated with earlier occurrence of LID (hazard ratio, 1.04; P = 0.001), although the effects of WMHs on LID development did not exhibit region‐specific patterns. Interpretation The present study demonstrates that the burden of WMHs is associated with occurrence of LID in patients with PD, suggesting comorbid WMHs as a risk factor for LID.

Abstract
A group of European experts reappraised the guidelines on the therapeutic efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) previously published in 2014 [Lefaucheur et al., Clin Neurophysiol 2014;125:2150-206]. These updated recommendations take into account all rTMS publications, including data prior to 2014, as well as currently reviewed literature until the end of 2018. Level A evidence (definite efficacy) was reached for: high-frequency (HF) rTMS of the primary motor cortex (M1) contralateral to the painful side for neuropathic pain; HF-rTMS of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) using a figure-of-8 or a H1-coil for depression; low-frequency (LF) rTMS of contralesional M1 for hand motor recovery in the post-acute stage of stroke. Level B evidence (probable efficacy) was reached for: HF-rTMS of the left M1 or DLPFC for improving quality of life or pain, respectively, in fibromyalgia; HF-rTMS of bilateral M1 regions or the left DLPFC for improving motor impairment or depression, respectively, in Parkinson's disease; HF-rTMS of ipsilesional M1 for promoting motor recovery at the post-acute stage of stroke; intermittent theta burst stimulation targeted to the leg motor cortex for lower limb spasticity in multiple sclerosis; HF-rTMS of the right DLPFC in posttraumatic stress disorder; LF-rTMS of the right inferior frontal gyrus in chronic post-stroke non-fluent aphasia; LF-rTMS of the right DLPFC in depression; and bihemispheric stimulation of the DLPFC combining right-sided LF-rTMS (or continuous theta burst stimulation) and left-sided HF-rTMS (or intermittent theta burst stimulation) in depression. Level A/B evidence is not reached concerning efficacy of rTMS in any other condition. The current recommendations are based on the differences reached in therapeutic efficacy of real vs. sham rTMS protocols, replicated in a sufficient number of independent studies. This does not mean that the benefit produced by rTMS inevitably reaches a level of clinical relevance.

Abstract
Objective:Dyskinesia is the most common motor complication in advanced Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and has a severe impact on daily life. But the mechanism of dyskinesia is still poorly understood. This study aims to explore risk factors for disabling dyskinesia in PD and further analyze the Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2 (VMAT2) distribution (labeled with 18F-AV133) in the corpus striatum and the 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) metabolism of different brain regions by PET-CT.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study involving 135 PD patients. They were divided into disabling dyskinesia group (DD group, N=22) and non-dyskinesia group (ND group, N=113). All the patients were agreed to undergo PET-CT scans. Clinical data were analyzed between two groups by using multivariate logistic regression analysis, and risk factors for disabling dyskinesia were then determined. The standard uptake value ratios (SUVr) of 18F-AV133 in the corpus striatum and the 18F-FDG metabolism of different brain regions were identified and calculated by the software.Results:6.3% patients have disabling dyskinesia. DD group were more likely to have longer Disease Duration, higher Hoehn-Yahr degree, more severe clinic symptoms, more frequent sleep behavior disorder, and higher levodopa dose equivalency than ND group (P < 0.05). After adjusting confounding factors by multivariate logistic regression, DD group had longer PD duration and high levodopa dose equivalency compared with ND group (P < 0.05). There is no significant difference between the VMAT2 distribution (labeled with 18F- AV133) in the putamen and caudate between two groups. And the 18F-FDG metabolic changes in cortical and subcortical regions did not show a significant difference between the two groups either (P > 0.05).Conclusion:Long PD duration and high levodopa dose equivalency were two independent risk factors for disabling dyskinesia in PD patients. Compared to non-dyskinesia PD patients, there was no significant dopamine decline of the nigrostriatal system in disabling dyskinesia PD patients. Activities of different brain regions were not different between the two groups by 18F-FDG PETCT.

Blood Flow and Glucose Metabolism Dissociation in the Putamen Is Predictive of Levodopa Induced Dyskinesia in Parkinson's Disease Patients. Front Neurol 2019; 10:1217.

Abstract
Background: The forefront treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) is Levodopa. When patients are treated with Levodopa cerebral blood flow is increased while cerebral metabolic rate is decreased in key subcortical regions including the putamen. This phenomenon is especially pronounced in patients with Levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). Method: To study the effect of clinically-determined anti-parkinsonian medications, 10 PD patients (5 with LID and 5 without LID) have been scanned with FDG-PET (a probe for glucose metabolism) and perfusion MRI (a probe for cerebral blood flow) both when they are ON and OFF medications. Patients additionally underwent resting state fMRI to detect changes in dopamine-mediated cortico-striatal connectivity. The degree of blood flow-glucose metabolism dissociation was quantified by comparing the FDG-PET and perfusion MRI data. Results: A significant interaction effect (imaging modality × medication; blood flow-glucose metabolism dissociation) has been found in the putamen (p = 0.023). Post-hoc analysis revealed that anti-parkinsonian medication consistently normalized the pathologically hyper-metabolic state of the putamen while mixed effects were observed in cerebral blood flow changes. This dissociation was especially predominant in patients with LID compared to those without. Unlike the prior study, this differentiation was not observed when cortico-striatal functional connectivity was assessed. Conclusion: We confirmed striatal neurovascular dissociation between FDG-PET and perfusion MRI in response to clinically determined anti-parkinsonian medication. We further proposed a novel analytical method to quantify the degree of dissociation in the putamen using only the ON condition scans, Putamen-to-thalamus Hyper-perfusion/hypo-metabolism Index (PHI), which may have the potential to be used as a biomarker for LID (correctly classifying 8 out 10 patients). For wider use of PHI, a larger validation study is warranted.

Abstract
Focal application of a strong static magnetic field over the human scalp induces measurable local changes in brain function. Whether it also induces distant effects across the brain and how these local and distant effects collectively affect motor behavior remains unclear. Here we applied transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) over the supplementary motor area (SMA) in healthy subjects. At a behavioral level, tSMS increased the time to initiate movement while decreasing errors in choice reaction-time tasks. At a functional level, tSMS increased SMA resting-state fMRI activity and bilateral functional connectivity between the SMA and both the paracentral lobule and the lateral frontotemporal cortex, including the inferior frontal gyrus. These results suggest that tSMS over the SMA can induce behavioral aftereffects associated with modulation of both local and distant functionally-connected cortical circuits involved in the control of speed-accuracy tradeoffs, thus offering a promising protocol for cognitive and clinical research.

Abstract
The right orbitofrontal cortex (rOFC) has been proposed as the region where conscious olfactory perception arises; however, evidence supporting this hypothesis has all been collected from neuroimaging and lesion studies in which only correlation and not a temporal pattern can be established. Continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) causes a reversible disruption of cortical activity and has been used successfully to disrupt orbitofrontal activity. To overcome intrinsic limitations of current experimental research, a crossover, double-blind, prospective and longitudinal study was carried out in which cTBS was applied over the rOFC to evaluate its effect on odorant stimuli detection. All subjects received real and sham cTBS. Experimental procedures were done in two different sessions with a separation of at least one week between them to avoid carryover and learning effects. A total of 15 subjects completed the experiment, and their data were included in the final analysis (10 women, 5 men, mean age 22.40 ± 3.41). Every session consisted of two different measures of the conscious olfactory perception task: A baseline measure and one 5 min after cTBS/sham. Compared to baseline, marks in the olfactory task during the sham cTBS session increased (p = 0.010), while marks during the real cTBS session decreased (p = 0.017). Our results support the hypothesis that rOFC is an important node of a complex network required for conscious olfactory perception to arise. However, the exact mechanism that explains our results is unclear and could be explained by the disruption of other cognitive functions related to the rOFC.

The influence of one session of low frequency rTMS on pre-supplementary motor area metabolites in late stage Parkinson's disease. Clin Neurophysiol 2019; 130:1292-1298.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of Low Frequency repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (LF rTMS) on brain metabolites in late stage Parkinson's disease (PD) patients (disease duration at least 4 years and Hoehn and Yahr (1969) score at least 2 in OFF). Several neuroimaging data support a role for pre-Supplementary Motor Area (pre-SMA) involvement in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) measures in vivo metabolites, but results in PD brain remain conflicting and little is known of the effect of LF rTMS thereupon. METHODS We investigate the neurochemical profile of the right pre-SMA in 17 late stage PD patients (11 male and 6 female, mean age of 71 years) before and after one session of sham controlled 1 Hz rTMS (1000 pulses, 16 minutes), focusing on the tNAA/tCr and tCho/tCr ratios. RESULTS The tNAA/tCr ratio was unaffected by one session of LF rTMS. We did observe a significant effect of real LF rTMS on the tCho/tCr ratio, inversely correlated with disease duration, and not related to the presence of dyskinesias. As expected, one session of LF rTMS did not affect clinical outcome. CONCLUSIONS LF rTMS at the right pre-SMA in late stage Parkinson's disease patients does not alter tNAA/tCr, but influences tCho/tCr ratio, in particular in patients with shorter disease duration. SIGNIFICANCE Pre-SMA LF rTMS seems to influence membrane turnover, more importantly in patients with shorter disease duration. Larger LF rTMS treatment studies applying multiple sessions are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a safe and painless non-invasive brain stimulation technique that has been largely used in the past 30 years to explore cortical function in healthy participants and, inter alia, the pathophysiology of movement disorders. During the years, its use has evolved from primarily research purposes to treatment of a large variety of neurological and psychiatric diseases. In this article, we illustrate the basic principles on which the therapeutic use of transcranial magnetic stimulation is based and review the clinical trials that have been performed in patients with movement disorders. METHODS A search of the PubMed database for research and review articles was performed on therapeutic applications of transcranial magnetic stimulation in movement disorders. The search included the following conditions: Parkinson's disease, dystonia, Tourette syndrome and other chronic tic disorders, Huntington's disease and choreas, and essential tremor. The results of the studies and possible mechanistic explanations for the relatively minor effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation are discussed. Possible ways to improve the methodology and achieve greater therapeutic efficacy are discussed. CONCLUSION Despite the promising and robust rationales for the use of transcranial magnetic stimulations as a treatment tool in movement disorders, the results taken as a whole are not as successful as were initially expected. There is encouraging evidence that transcranial magnetic stimulation may improve motor symptoms and depression in Parkinson's disease, but the efficacy in other movement disorders is unclear. Possible improvements in methodology are on the horizon but have yet to be implemented in large clinical studies. © 2019 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society © 2019 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between the development of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) and longitudinal changes in cognition. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we recruited 119 patients with Parkinson disease (PD) who underwent baseline and follow-up neuropsychological evaluations and were treated with levodopa for >5 years. On the basis of LID development, the patients were classified as patients with LID (PD-LID+, n = 38) or without LID (PD-LID-, n = 81) within 5 years of levodopa administration. After adjusting for age, sex, years of education, body mass index, motor severity at baseline, and levodopa increment per year, we compared the rates of cognitive decline using linear mixed model and dementia conversion using survival analysis between the groups. RESULTS Neuropsychological performances and the percentage of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) at baseline did not differ between the groups. The PD-LID+ group showed faster declines in frontal executive function (p = 0.002) and global cognitive function. The conversion rate to dementia was significantly higher in the PD-LID+ group than in the PD-LID- group (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 3.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.76-8.82). Patients with MCI in the PD-LID+ group had a higher risk of PD dementia conversion than those with normal cognition (adjusted HR 6.08, 95% CI 1.25-29.56) or MCI (adjusted HR 4.05, 95% CI 1.14-14.43) in the PD-LID- group. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrated that LID was closely associated with the progression of cognitive decline, especially frontal executive dysfunction, and the development of PD dementia.

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
It is well established clinically that rhythmic auditory cues can improve gait and other motor behaviors in Parkinson's disease (PD) and other disorders. However, the neural systems underlying this therapeutic effect are largely unknown. To investigate this question we scanned people with PD and age-matched healthy controls using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). All subjects performed a rhythmic motor behavior (right hand finger tapping) with and without simultaneous auditory rhythmic cues at two different speeds (1 and 4 Hz). We used spatial independent component analysis (ICA) and regression to identify task-related functional connectivity networks and assessed differences between groups in intra- and inter-network connectivity. Overall, the control group showed greater intra-network connectivity in perceptual and motor related networks during motor tapping both with and without rhythmic cues. The PD group showed greater inter-network connectivity between the auditory network and the executive control network, and between the executive control network and the motor/cerebellar network associated with the motor task performance. We interpret our results as indicating that the temporal rhythmic auditory information may assist compensatory mechanisms through network-level effects, reflected in increased interaction between auditory and executive networks that in turn modulate activity in cortico-cerebellar networks.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LID) appears in more than 50% of Parkinson's disease patients after 5 years of treatment and clinicians always have to ensure that there is a balance between the beneficial effect of the treatment and the potential complications. AREAS COVERED In this review, the authors discuss the treatment of LID. Treatment can be divided into strategies for preventing their occurrence, modification of dopaminergic therapy, and providing more continuous dopaminergic stimulation as well as the use of nondopaminergic drugs. EXPERT OPINION Amantadine is currently considered the most effective drug for the treatment of LID. Several compounds developed to target adenosine, adrenergic, glutamatergic, and serotonergic receptors have shown to significantly decrease dyskinesias in animal models. However, despite promising preclinical results, translation to clinical practice remains challenging and majority of these compounds failed to decrease LID in randomized controlled trials with moderate-to-advanced parkinsonian patients. Despite promising results with nondopaminergic drugs, treatment of dyskinesias is still challenging and largely due to their side effects. Future research should focus on developing treatments that can provide continuous dopaminergic delivery throughout the day in a noninvasive manner. Studies on the impact of the early administration of long-acting formulations of levo-3,4-dihydroxy-phenylalanine on dyskinesias are also necessary.

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
Levodopa-induced dyskinesias are a common and disabling side effect of dopaminergic therapy in Parkinson's disease, but their neural mechanisms in vivo are still poorly understood. Besides striatal pathology, the importance of cortical dysfunction has been increasingly recognized. The supplementary motor area in particular, may have a relevant role in dyskinesias onset given its involvement in endogenously generated actions. The aim of the present study was to investigate the levodopa-related cortical excitability changes along with the emergence of levodopa-induced peak-of-dose dyskinesias in subjects with Parkinson's disease. Thirteen patients without dyskinesias and ten with dyskinesias received 200/50 mg fast-acting oral levodopa/benserazide following overnight withdrawal (12 hr) from their dopaminergic medication. We targeted transcranial magnetic stimulation to the supplementary motor area, ipsilateral to the most dopamine-depleted striatum defined with single-photon emission computed tomography with [123 I]N-ω-fluoropropyl-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl)nortropane, and recorded transcranial magnetic stimulation-evoked potentials with high-density electroencephalography before and at 30, 60, and 180 min after levodopa/benserazide intake. Clinical improvement from levodopa/benserazide paralleled the increase in cortical excitability in both groups. Subjects with dyskinesias showed higher fluctuation of cortical excitability in comparison to non-dyskinetic patients, possibly reflecting dyskinetic movements. Together with endogenous brain oscillation, levodopa-related dynamics of brain state could influence the therapeutic response of neuromodulatory interventions.

Abstract
Although L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) is currently the most effective medication for treating Parkinson's disease (PD) motor symptoms, its prolonged administration causes several adverse effects, including dyskinesia. To identify the mechanisms underlying the effects of acupuncture on L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID), antidyskinetic effects of acupuncture were investigated in two mouse models of PD. Acupuncture stimulation at GB34 alleviated abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs) in Pitx3-deficient aphakia mice (ak/ak) following L-DOPA administration and these effects were reproduced in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned mice with LID. A transcriptome analysis of the hypothalamus revealed pro-melanin-concentrating hormone (Pmch) gene was highly expressed in acupuncture-treated mouse from ak/ak model of LID as well as 6-OHDA model of LID. Acupuncture combined with the administration of MCH receptor antagonist did not have any beneficial effects on dyskinesia in L-DOPA-injected ak/ak mice, but the intranasal administration of MCH attenuated LID to the same degree as acupuncture in both ak/ak and 6-OHDA mice with LID. A gene expression profile with a hierarchical clustering analysis of the dyskinesia-induced ak/ak mouse brain revealed an association between the mechanisms underlying acupuncture and MCH. Additionally, altered striatal responses to L-DOPA injection were observed after prolonged acupuncture and MCH treatments, which suggests that these treatment modalities influenced the compensatory mechanisms of LID. In summary, present study demonstrated that acupuncture decreased LID via hypothalamic MCH using L-DOPA-administered ak/ak and 6-OHDA mouse models and that MCH administration resulted in novel antidyskinetic effects in these models. Thus, acupuncture and MCH might be valuable therapeutic candidates for PD patients suffering from LID.
