To evaluate the capability of resting state functional
MRI in indentifying the disease-specific changes in
functional brain networks from PD patients with or
without impulse control disorders (ICD).PD patients
showed significantly enhanced striatal functional
connectivity with sensori-motor cortex.Compared with
healthy subjects and PD patients without ICD, PD
patients with ICD also showed significantly increased
striatal connectivity with the ACC and prefrontal
cortex, which are involved in execution and reward
system.This study shows that mapping striatal functional
connectivity is feasible and may aid in understanding
the pathophysiology of PD and ICD.
