Abstract

BACKGROUND: The high heterogeneity of Parkinson's disease (PD) hinders personalized interventions. Brain structure reflects damage and neuroplasticity and is one of the biological bases of symptomatology. Subtyping PD in the framework of brain structure helps in the prediction of disease trajectories and optimizes treatment strategies.
