We analyzed gray matter (GM) volume changes and clinical parameters in patients with PD to investigate any involvement in the brain structures responsible for autonomic control in patients with PD having orthostatic hypotension (OH). Voxel-based morphometry was applied to compare regional GM volumes between PD patients with and without OH. Multivariate logistic regression analysis using a hierarchical model was carried out to identify clinical factors independently contributing to the regional GM volume changes in PD patients with OH. The Sobel test was used to analyze mediation effects between the independent contributing factors to the GM volume changes. PD patients with OH had more severe autonomic dysfunction and reduction in volume in the right inferior temporal cortex than those without OH. The right inferior temporal volume was positively correlated with the Qualitative Scoring MMSE Pentagon Test (QSPT) score, reflecting visuospatial\/visuoperceptual function, and negatively correlated with the Composite Autonomic Severity Score (CASS). The CASS and QSPT scores were found to be factors independently contributing to regional volume changes in the right inferior temporal cortex. The QSPT score was identified as a mediator in which regional GM volume predicts the CASS. Our findings suggest that a decrease in the visuospatial\/visuoperceptual process may be involved in the presentation of autonomic nervous system dysfunction in PD patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/brainsci11030294","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,26]],"date-time":"2021-02-26T06:47:20Z","timestamp":1614322040000},"page":"294","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Regional Gray Matter Volume Changes in Parkinson\u2019s Disease with Orthostatic Hypotension"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8013-9349","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jung Bin","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Korea University Anam Hospital, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul 02841, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9991-3664","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hayom","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Korea University Anam Hospital, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul 02841, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1285-4658","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chan-Nyung","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Korea University Anam Hospital, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul 02841, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kun-Woo","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Korea University Anam Hospital, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul 02841, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0445-7185","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Byung-Jo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Korea University Anam Hospital, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul 02841, Korea"},{"name":"BK21 FOUR Program in Learning Health Systems, Korea University, Seoul 02841, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"391","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.27268","article-title":"Autonomic dysfunction in Parkinson\u2019s disease: A prospective cohort study","volume":"33","author":"Merola","year":"2018","journal-title":"Mov.
