Functional connectivity of the motor system in dystonia due to PKAN
Purpose: To demonstrate deviations of functional connectivity within the motor system in dystonic patients suffering from Pantothenate Kinase Associated Neurodegeneration, a genetic and metabolic disease, which is characterized by a primary lesion in the globus pallidus. Material and methods: Functi...

Results: During resting state, correlation coefficients within the motor system were significantly lower in patients than in controls (0.025 vs. 0.133, p < 0.05). Network analysis by Network Based Statistics showed that these differences mainly affected the connectivity between a sub-network consisting of the basal ganglia and another one, the motor system-related cortical areas (p < 0.05). 6 out of 12 connections, which correlated significantly to duration of disease, were connections between both sub-networks. Conclusion: The finding of a reduced functional connectivity within the motor network, between the basal ganglia and cortical motor-related areas, fits well into the concept of a general functional disturbance of the motor system in PKAN.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S240565022100006XPantothenate Kinase Associated NeurodegenerationDystoniaResting stateFunctional connectivity |
