Abstract
Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with high incidence rate. Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), as a widely used method for studying neurodegenerative diseases, has not yet been combined with two important indicators, amplitude low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and cerebral blood flow (CBF), for standardized analysis of PD. Methods In this study, we used seed-based d-mapping and permutation of subject images (SDM-PSI) software to investigate the changes in ALFF and CBF of PD patients. After obtaining the regions of PD with changes in ALFF or CBF, we conducted a multimodal analysis to identify brain regions where ALFF and CBF changed together or could not synchronize. Results The final study included 31 eligible trials with 37 data sets. The main analysis results showed that the ALFF of the left striatum and left anterior thalamic projection decreased in PD patients, while the CBF of the right superior frontal gyrus decreased. However, the results of multimodal analysis suggested that there were no statistically significant brain regions. In addition, the decrease of ALFF in the left striatum and the decrease of CBF in the right superior frontal gyrus was correlated with the decrease in clinical cognitive scores. Conclusion PD patients had a series of spontaneous brain activity abnormalities, mainly involving brain regions related to the striatum-thalamic-cortex circuit, and related to the clinical manifestations of PD. Among them, the left striatum and right superior frontal gyrus are more closely related to cognition. Systematic review registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/ PROSPERO (CRD42023390914).

Neurobiol Dis 2023; 188:106335. [PMID: 37890560 DOI: 10.1016/j.nbd.2023.106335] [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: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent animal model studies have suggested that the parafascicular nucleus has the potential to be an effective deep brain stimulation target for Parkinson's disease. However, our knowledge on the role of the parafascicular nucleus in Parkinson's disease patients remains limited. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the functional alterations of the parafascicular nucleus projections in Parkinson's disease patients. METHODS We enrolled 72 Parkinson's disease patients and 60 healthy controls, then utilized resting-state functional MRI and spectral dynamic causal modeling to explore the effective connectivity of the bilateral parafascicular nucleus to the dorsal putamen, nucleus accumbens, and subthalamic nucleus. The associations between the effective connectivity of the parafascicular nucleus projections and clinical features were measured with Pearson partial correlations. RESULTS Compared with controls, the effective connectivity from the parafascicular nucleus to dorsal putamen was significantly increased, while the connectivity to the nucleus accumbens and subthalamic nucleus was significantly reduced in Parkinson's disease patients. There was a significantly positive correlation between the connectivity of parafascicular nucleus-dorsal putamen projection and motor deficits. The connectivity from the parafascicular nucleus to the subthalamic nucleus was negatively correlated with motor deficits and apathy, while the connectivity from the parafascicular nucleus to the nucleus accumbens was negatively associated with depression. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrates that the parafascicular nucleus-related projections are damaged and associated with clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Our findings provide new insights into the impaired basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits and give support for the parafascicular nucleus as a potential effective neuromodulating target of the disease.

Abstract
Neuroimaging studies suggest a pivotal role of amygdala dysfunction in non-motor symptoms (NMS) of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the relationship between amygdala subregions (the centromedial (CMA), basolateral (BLA) and superficial amygdala (SFA)) and NMS has not been delineated. We used resting-state functional MRI to examine the PD-related alterations in functional connectivity for amygdala subregions. The left three subregions and right BLA exhibited between-group differences, and were commonly hypo-connected with the frontal, temporal, insular cortex, and putamen in PD. Each subregion displayed distinct hypoconnectivity with the limbic systems. Partial least-squares analysis revealed distinct amygdala subregional involvement in diverse NMS. Hypo-connectivity of all four subregions was associated with emotion, pain, olfaction, and cognition. Hypo-connectivity of the left SFA was associated with sleepiness. Our findings highlight the hypofunction of the amygdala subregions in PD and their preliminary associations with NMS, providing new insights into the pathogenesis of NMS.

JOURNAL OF PARKINSONS DISEASE 2021; 11:605-613. [PMID: 33646180 DOI: 10.3233/jpd-202496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Co-occurrence of β-amyloid (Aβ) pathology has been reported in Parkinson's disease (PD), and Aβ deposition in the brain may contribute to cognitive decline in patients with PD. Whether striatal dopamine uptake and cognitive status differ with amyloid deposition has been reported in only a few studies. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the association among striatal dopaminergic availability, Aβ-positivity, and motor and cognitive status in early and non-demented PD. METHODS A total of 98 newly-diagnosed, non-medicated, and non-demented patients with PD were included in this study. Cognitive status was assessed using neuropsychological testing. Patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were stratified into two groups: amnestic MCI (aMCI) and non-amnestic MCI (naMCI). Patient motor status was examined using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-N-(3-fluoropropyl)-2beta-carbon ethoxy-3beta-(4-iodophenyl) nortropane (18F-FP-CIT). All patients also underwent 18F-florbetaben (18F-FBB) PET and were divided based on the results into Aβ-positive and Aβ-negative groups. RESULTS Eighteen patients had Aβ-positivity in 18F-FBB PET and 67 had MCI. Sixteen of 18 with Aβ-positive patients had MCI. The Aβ-positive group had higher frequency of MCI, especially amnestic-type, and lower dopaminergic activities in the left ventral striatum, but not with UPDRS motor score. CONCLUSION Amyloid pathology was associated with MCI, especially amnestic-subtype, in early and non-demented PD patients and with low dopaminergic activities in the left ventral striatum. This finding suggests that PD patients with Aβ-positivity have AD-related cognitive pathophysiology in PD and associated impaired dopaminergic availability in the ventral striatum can affect the pathophysiology in various ways.

Abstract
In this retrospective study, by assuming that the therapeutic impedances were equal to 1 kΩ, we found that the mechanism by which deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) changed the motor laterality in Parkinson's disease (PD) may not be related to the difference in weighted average of the total electrical energy delivered to each side of STN.
