The dentato\u2010thalamo\u2010cortical (DTC) pathway, an important cerebellar output involved in motor control, plays a crucial role in the neural mechanisms underlying ataxia symptoms in FRDA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim was to quantify regional alterations in structure, connectivity, function, and neurometabolism along the DTC pathway in FRDA patients using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty\u2010two individuals with FRDA and 22 healthy controls underwent a brain MRI. Volumetry, amplitude of low\u2010frequency fluctuation of resting\u2010state functional MRI data, and phosphorus MR spectroscopy were used to assess key regional changes along the DTC pathway. Diffusion tractography and dynamic causal model (DCM) were adopted to investigate microstructural integrity and effective connectivity of the DTC pathway, respectively. Associations with clinical parameters, including ataxia severity, were also tested.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Compared to controls, FRDA patients exhibited reduced volumes and adenosine triphosphate levels in the bilateral dentate nuclei and right motor cortex, as well as elevated glycerophosphoethanolamine levels in thalami and the left motor cortex. In FRDA patients, fractional anisotropy was decreased in the dentatothalamic sections of the DTC tract and correlated negatively with ataxia severity. Additionally, DCM revealed elevated excitatory connectivity from the right thalamus to the left dentate nucleus in FRDA patients, showing a U\u2010shaped association with ataxia scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study provides multimodal imaging evidence for comprehensive alterations along the DTC pathway in FRDA, including first insights into energy metabolism and effective connectivity.
