“…What’s more, we revealed higher nodal DC and efficiency of right posterior cingulate cortex mediated the effects of striatal dopamine depletion on RBDSQ scores. Although posterior cingulate cortex has been shown to be involved in cognitive impairment of isolated RBD, 115,116 its role in the occurrence of RBD in PD remain unclear. Future studies were required to decipher the specific mechanisms underlying the negative associations between striatum SBR and RBD in PD patients.…”

Background Stratal dopamine depletion contributes to both motor and non-motor symptoms of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The objective of current study is to explore whether stratal dopamine depletion shapes clinical heterogeneity by impairing brain networks of PD patients. Methods In this cross-sectional study, PD participants undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging from Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) database were investigated. According to the levels of striatal binding ratio (SBR) in bilateral striatum, PD patients were classified into lower quartile group (SBR level rank: 0%~25%), interquartile group (SBR level rank: 26%~75%), and upper quartile group (SBR level rank: 76%~100%) based on their SBR level quartiles to examine how stratal dopamine depletion affects clinical manifestations and brain networks. Findings PD patients in the lower quartile group showed more severe motor and non-motor symptoms compared to upper quartile group. Additionally, topological metrics in both structural and functional network were significantly different between upper quartile group and lower quartile group. Furthermore, the functional network of left primary motor cortex (M1) was specifically impaired in lower quartile group, which resulted in topological disruptions in functional network. Importantly, impaired left M1 network in PD patients mediated the effects of striatal dopamine depletion on both motor and non-motor symptoms. Interpretation Striatal dopamine depletion specifically impaired left M1 network, which contributed to aberrant functional network topology and dopamine-dependent motor and non-motor symptoms.
