Deskripsi

Freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) has a poorly understood pathophysiology, which hinders treatment development. Recent work showed a dysfunctional fronto-striato-limbic circuitry at rest in PD freezers compared to non-freezers in the dopamine “OFF” state. While other studies found that dopaminergic replacement therapy alters functional brain organization in PD, the specific effect of dopamine medication on fronto-striato-limbic functional connectivity in freezers remains unclear.
