This study investigates the relationship between motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients and high-level task-control deficits, as well as the effects of levodopa on network dynamics. Levodopa intake improves dwell time in PD patients and is related to changes in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. PD patients have fewer occurrences in State II and decreased connectivity between sensorimotor and control networks.
Background: Motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients might be related to high-level task-control deficits. We aimed at investigating the dynamics between sensorimotor network and top-down control networks (frontal-parietal, cingulo-opercular, and cerebellar) in PD and at determining the effects of levodopa on the dynamics of these networks. Methods: We investigated dynamic functional connectivity (dFC), during resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging, between sensorimotor network and top-down control networks in 36 PD patients (OFF medication, PD-OFF) and 36 healthy volunteers. We further assessed the effect of medication on dFC in18 PD patients who were also scanned ON medication. Results: The dFC analyses identified three discrete states: State I (35.68%) characterized by connections between the cerebellum and sensorimotor network, State II (34.17%) with connections between the sensorimotor and frontal-parietal network, and State III (30.15%) with connection between the sensorimotor and cingulo-opercular network. PD patients have significantly fewer occurrences and overall spent less time (shorter dwell time) in State II compared to healthy controls. After levodopa intake, dwell time improved toward normal. The change in dwell time before and after taking levodopa was negatively related to the respective changes in Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, Part III. PD-OFF showed significantly decreased connectivity between sensorimotor and control networks and increased connectivity within control networks. These changes were partially improved after levodopa intake. Conclusions: Dopamine depletion in PD is associated with abnormalities in temporal and spatial properties between cognitive control and sensorimotor network, possibly contributing to clinical deficits. Levodopa partially restores the network function toward the values observed in healthy volunteers. (c) 2021 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society
