Abstract

BACKGROUND: Despite prior studies on early-stage Parkinson's disease (PD) brain connectivity and temporal patterns, differences between tremor-dominant (TD) and postural instability/gait difficulty (PIGD) motor subtypes remain poorly understood. Our study aims to understand the contribution of altered brain network dynamics to heterogeneous motor phenotypes in PD for improving personalized treatment.
