Resting‐state Functional MRI in Parkinsonian Syndromes
Open accessAbstract
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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
