Background Depression is common in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Our previous studies suggest that depressed PD patients have altered insula structures. It is, however, still unknown whether the altered structures cause disruption of insula functional networks, further contributing to depression in PD. Methods In the present study, 17 depressed PD patients, 17 non-depressed PD patients, and 17 normal controls were enrolled. All subjects went through neurological and psychiatric clinical assessments. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and seed-based insula functional analyses were performed to examine the insula functional connectivity alterations in PD patients. Results We found that compared with normal controls, PD patients exhibited significantly decreased insula functional connectivity widely across the whole brain. Compared with non-depressed PD patients, depressed patients showed further decreased functional connectivity in the middle frontal gyrus and inferior parietal lobe. Furthermore, connectivity between the left anterior insula and middle frontal gyrus was positively correlated with the cognitive scale score. Conclusion These results suggest that insula networks were severely damaged in PD patients, and that the disrupted connection between the salience network and executive control network might contribute to depression in PD.
