Although iRBD and PD without RBD (nRBD-PD) are both \u03b1-synucleinopathies, whether they share the same neurodegeneration process is not clear enough. In this study, the pattern and extent of neurodegeneration were investigated and compared between early-stage nRBD-PD and iRBD from the perspective of whole-brain functional network changes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty-one patients with iRBD, 23 patients with early-stage nRBD-PD, and 22 matched healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. Functional networks were constructed using resting-state functional MRI (fMRI) data. Network topological properties were analyzed and compared among groups by graph theory approaches. Correlation analyses were performed between network topological properties and cognition in the iRBD and nRBD-PD groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Both patients with iRBD and patients with early-stage nRBD-PD had attention, executive function, and some memory deficits. On global topological organization, iRBD and nRBD-PD groups still presented small-worldness, but both groups exhibited decreased global\/local efficiency and increased characteristic path length. On regional topological organization, compared with HC, nRBD-PD presented decreased nodal efficiency, decreased degree centrality, and increased nodal shortest path length, while iRBD presented decreased nodal efficiency and nodal shortest path. For iRBD, brain regions with decreased nodal efficiency were included in the corresponding regions of nRBD-PD. Nodal shortest path changes were significantly different in terms of brain regions and directions between nRBD-PD and iRBD. Attention deficits were correlated with local topological properties of the occipital lobe in both iRBD and nRBD-PD groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Both global and local efficiency of functional networks declined in nRBD-PD and iRBD groups. The overlaps and differences in local topological properties between nRBD-PD and iRBD indicate that iRBD not only shares functional changes of PD but also presents distinct features.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnagi.2022.820479","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,11]],"date-time":"2022-04-11T08:32:08Z","timestamp":1649665928000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Comparative Study on Topological Properties of the Whole-Brain Functional Connectome in Idiopathic Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder and Parkinson\u2019s Disease Without RBD"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Shuai","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sheng-Hui","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying-Ying","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jie-Wen","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hong-Ju","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jpm11010051","article-title":"Cognitive and Neuropsychiatric Profiles in Idiopathic Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder and Parkinson\u2019s Disease.","volume":"11","author":"Assogna","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
