abstract = {IntroductionAltered brain activity and functional
reorganization patterns during self-initiated movements have
been reported in early pre-motor and motor stages of
Parkinson's disease. The aim of this study was to
investigate whether similar alterations can be observed in
patients with idiopathic REM-sleep behavior disorder
(RBD).Methods13 polysomnography-confirmed male and
right-handed RBD patients and 13 healthy controls underwent
a bilateral hand-movement fMRI task including internally
selected (INT) and externally-guided (EXT) movement
conditions for each hand. We examined functional activity
and connectivity differences between groups and
task-conditions, structural differences using voxel-based
morphometry, as well as associations between functional
activity and clinical variables.ResultsNo group differences
were observed in fMRI-task performance or in voxel-based
morphometry. Both groups showed faster reaction times and
exhibited greater neural activation when movements were
internally selected compared to externally-guided tasks.
Compared to controls, RBD patients displayed stronger
activation in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and primary
somatosensory cortex during INT-tasks, and in the right
fronto-insular cortex during EXT-tasks performed with the
non-dominant hand. Stronger activation in RBD patients was
associated with cognitive and olfactory impairment.
Connectivity analysis demonstrated overall less
interregional coupling in patients compared to controls. In
particular, patients showed reduced temporo-cerebellar,
occipito-cerebellar and intra-cerebellar connectivity, but
stronger connectivity in fronto-cerebellar and
fronto-occipital pathways.ConclusionThe observed stronger
activation during hand-movement tasks and connectivity
changes in RBD may reflect early compensatory and
reorganization patterns in order to preserve motor
functioning. Our findings may contribute to a better
understanding and prognosis of prodromal stages of
α-synucleinopathies.},
