In Parkinson’s disease (PD), there are alterations of the basal ganglia (BG) thalamo-cortical networks, primarily due to degeneration of nigrostrial dopaminergic neurons. These changes in subcortical networks lead to plastic changes in primary motor cortex (M1), which mediates cortical motor output...
