📃Parkinsons Disease is accompanied by decreased functional connectivity in the Theory of Mind network early on and by broad increase later — especially in the cognitive and affective subnetworks, write Giuseppe Rabini of Luca Turella's group & colleagues from CeRiN and LNiF, in a special issue of the European Journal of Neuroscience

📃 Connectivity in a network of brain regions of people with Parkinson’s disease predicts levels of motor impairment, and the individual profiles may constitute “fingerprints” in resting-state fMRI, write CIMeC researcher Giuseppe Rabin of Luca Turella’s Motor Control Group and colleagues at CeRiN and in a paper just out in Cerebral Cortex.

Connectome-based fingerprint of motor impairment is stable along the course of Parkinson’s disease

Abstract. Functional alterations in brain connectivity have previously been described in Parkinson’s disease, but it is not clear whether individual differences
