In the past, it has been shown that PD alters resting state networks (RSN) in the brain. These networks are usually derived from fMRI BOLD signals. This study investigated RSN changes in PD patients based on maximum phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) throughout the cortex. We also tested the hypothesis that levodopa medication shifts network activity back toward a healthy state.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We recorded 23 PD patients and 24 healthy age-matched participants for 30 min at rest with magnetoencephalography (MEG). PD patients were measured once in the dopaminergic medication ON and once in the medication OFF state. A T1-MRI brain scan was acquired from each participant for source reconstruction. After correcting the data for artifacts and performing source reconstruction using a linearly constrained minimum variance beamformer, we extracted visual, sensorimotor (SMN), and frontal RSNs based on PAC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We found significant changes in all networks between healthy participants and PD patients in the medication OFF state. Levodopa had a significant effect on the SMN but not on the other networks. There was no significant change in the optimal PAC coupling frequencies between healthy participants and PD patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results suggest that RSNs, based on PAC in different parts of the cortex, are altered in PD patients. Furthermore, levodopa significantly affects the SMN, reflecting the clinical alleviation of motor symptoms and leading to a network normalization compared to healthy controls.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnsys.2023.1219334","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,1]],"date-time":"2023-08-01T07:24:26Z","timestamp":1690874666000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Alterations of PAC-based resting state networks in Parkinson\u2019s disease are partially alleviated by levodopa medication"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Sean","family":"Mertiens","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Sure","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alfons","family":"Schnitzler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Esther","family":"Florin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"337","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bandc.2009.10.011","article-title":"Impaired awareness of movement disorders in Parkinson\u2019s disease.","volume":"72","author":"Amanzio","year":"2010","journal-title":"Brain Cogn."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/FNBEH.2017.00020","article-title":"Frontal functional connectivity of electrocorticographic delta and theta rhythms during action execution versus action observation in humans.","volume":"11","author":"Babiloni","year":"2017","journal-title":"Front.
