U.S., June 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07024875) titled 'Neuroimaging of Parkinson's' on June 09.
Brief Summary: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by dysfunction in both subcortical structures and the cortex. We recently discovered a new brain system called the Somato-Cognitive Action Network (SCAN), which could be a primary locus of dysfunction in PD. Here, we will use magnetic resonance imaging techniques in PD patients to test whether SCAN is critical for PD. We will determine whether SCAN is connected to PD-relevant subcortical structures, and whether PD patients exhibit altered subcortical-to-SCAN connectivity. If successful, this work will identify SCAN...
