NCT01528592

Brief Summary

Based on studies showing better responsiveness of motor versus cognitive symptoms to Parkinson's Disease medication, also known as dopaminergic treatments, the investigators hypothesize that comparison of resting state networks in the on versus off medication state in Parkinson's Disease patients will show greater effects on brain networks associated with motor control.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Correlation Coefficient Between UPDRS III Score and Independent Components Analysis Network Strength in Left Parietal Cortex.

    Correlation coefficient between UPDRS III score and independent components analysis network strength in left parietal cortex. UPDRS III is the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale composite motor score.
