抽象的

In this study, we investigate the organization of the structural connectome in cognitively
well participants with Parkinson’s disease (PD-Well; n = 31) and a subgroup of
participants with Parkinson’s disease who have amnestic disturbances (PD-MI; n = 9).
We explore correlations between connectome topology and vulnerable cognitive
domains in Parkinson’s disease relative to non-Parkinson’s disease peers (控制, n = 40).
Diffusion-weighted MRI data and deterministic tractography were used to generate
connectomes. Connectome topological indices under study included weighted indices of
node strength, path length, clustering coefﬁcient, and small-worldness. Relative to controls,
node strength was reduced 4.99% for PD-Well (p = 0.041) 和 13.2% for PD-MI (p = 0.004).
We found bilateral differences in the node strength between PD-MI and controls for inferior
顶叶, caudal middle frontal, posterior cingulate, precentral, and rostral middle frontal.
Correlations between connectome and cognitive domains of interest showed that topological
indices of global connectivity negatively associated with working memory and displayed
more and larger negative correlations with neuropsychological indices of memory in PD-MI
than in PD-Well and controls. These ﬁndings suggest that indices of network connectivity are
reduced in PD-MI relative to PD-Well and control participants.

作者总结

Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (例如, primary
processing-speed impairments or primary memory impairments) are at greater risk of
developing dementia. Recent evidence suggests that patients with PD and mild cognitive
impairment present an altered connectome connectivity. 在这项工作中, we further explore the
structural connectome of PD patients to provide clues to identify possible sensitive markers
of disease progression, and cognitive impairment, in susceptible PD patients. We employed a
weighted network framework that yields more stable topological results than the binary
network framework and is robust despite graph density differences, hence it does not require
thresholding to analyze the connectomes. As Supplementary Information (Colon-Perez et al.,
2017), we include databases sharing the results of the network data.

Connectomes in Parkinson’s disease

Structural connectome:
Brain connectivity graphs obtained
from diffusion MRI and tractography.

纤维束成像术:
Three-dimensional representation of
the brain’s white matter tracts derived
from diffusion MRI data.

介绍

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor disruption
(IE。, tremors, unstable posture, bradykinesia) and cognitive symptoms (Chaudhuri & Schapira,
2009). Although James Parkinson initially proposed that PD did not progress to the cerebrum
(Parkinson, 2002), there is now substantial evidence that PD can compromise higher cortical
认知过程. The progression may not be the same for all individuals with PD, 然而;
some individuals remain with primary processing-speed impairments while others may present
with primary memory impairments and are at greater risk for dementia (Henderson et al., 2016;
Janvin, Larsen, Aarsland, & Hugdahl, 2006). Neuroimaging investigations show regional frac-
tional anisotropy (F A) and volumetric gray and white matter (WM) differences in PD and
non-PD peers (Price et al., 2016; Tanner et al., 2015). PD may be a network-level disease
(Bellucci et al., 2016; Catani & Ffytche, 2005; Gratwicke, Jahanshahi, & Foltynie, 2015), 和
the network heterogeneity possibly explains whether the subjects have memory impairment.

Novel applications with structural connectomes hold promise for improving our under-
standing of network heterogeneity within PD. Connectome studies represent the brain as a set
of nodes (brain areas) and edges (connecting white matter between brain areas) that quantify
the macroscopic topological organization of the brain network. The topological features of
the human connectome allow us to describe the complex interconnectedness of the human
brain in vivo. Connectome studies quantitatively describe the arrangement of connections in
大脑 (斯波恩斯, 2011乙) and offer a novel approach to explore the brain in healthy and neu-
ropathological participants (哈格曼等人。, 2010; 斯波恩斯, 2011A). They have been used to
quantify the organization of connected white matter in neurological disorders such as Hunt-
ington’s disease (Odish et al., 2015), epilepsy (泰勒, Han, Schoene-Bake, 韦伯, & Kaiser,
2015), and Alzheimer’s disease (Daianu et al., 2015). 还, connectome topology has been
suggested as a sensitive biomarker for early stages of psychotic illness and the eventual de-
velopment of psychosis (Drakesmith et al., 2015). In individuals with PD who have a freezing
gait, maladaptive brain restructuring has been shown through the connectivity between lo-
comotor hubs, particularly in the supplementary motor area and mesencephalic locomotor
地区 (Fling et al., 2014). A recent study showed that the connectome in patients with PD
with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is altered (Galantucci et al., 2016). 因此, further struc-
tural connectome studies of PD may yield sensitive markers of disease progression, cognitive
impairment, and susceptibility to PD.

在这项工作中, we performed global

(average values for the entire brain network for
each participant) 和当地的
(average values for every individual node for each partici-
pant) connectome analyses. Given the elevated risk of developing dementia associated with
amnestic mild cognitive impairment in PD (Henderson et al., 2016), in this study we ex-
amined structural connectome differences in people with PD who are cognitively well
relative to individuals with PD who meet criteria for amnestic MCI. We also explored
the correlations between topological connectome indices and the most common cogni-
tive vulnerabilities of PD (IE。, processing speed, 工作记忆, and episodic memory;
Zgaljardic, Borod, Foldi, & Mattis, 2003). We used diffusion MRI (贝斯 & 琼斯, 2002) 和
tractography (贝斯, 帕耶维奇, 皮尔保利, 杜达, & 阿尔德鲁比, 2000) to generate connectomes
comprising 82 brain regions (68 cortical and 14 subcortical). With this, we determined the
organization of structural connectivity of our three participant groups (PD, PD-MCI, non-PD
同行) and correlations between connectome indices and working memory, processing speed,
and verbal memory.

Connectomes in Parkinson’s disease

Dementia Rating Scale-2:
A screening measure used to assess a
patient’s overall level of cognitive

参加者

This study was approved by the University of Florida Health Center Institutional Review Board
(协议 #472-2007). Written consent was obtained from all participants, and all research
followed the Declaration of Helsinki.

to participate were included in the study.

Providers within the UF Center for Movement Disorders and Neurorestoration referred
nondemented individuals with idiopathic PD to the study. Structured telephone screening
was performed to verify inclusion/exclusion criteria. Potential participants were screened
in person with the Dementia Rating Scale-2 (DRS-2) (Matteau et al., 2011); a total DRS-2
score > 130 was required for participation. Only nondemented individuals who were able
to consent

(Briggs & Nebes, 1975), DRS-2 raw score > 130, ﬂuent English, diagnosis of PD by a move-
ment disorder neurologist, UK Parkinson’s Disease Society Brain Bank Clinical Diagnostic Cri-
teria (休斯, Ben-Shlomo, Daniel, & Lees, 2001), and Hoehn and Yahr scale (Hoehn & Yahr,
1967) 范围从 1 到 3. Exclusion criteria: diseases likely to confound cognition (例如,
cerebrovascular accident in the last six months), deep brain stimulation, secondary/atypical
Parkinsonism, and major psychiatric disorder. Depression and apathy were not exclusion cri-
teria because of their high prevalence in PD.

Inclusion criteria:

The ﬁnal sample included 40 people with idiopathic PD and 40 non-PD peers. Diffusion
and gray matter structural data from some of these participants have also been seen in recent
出版物 (Crowley et al., 2017; Price et al., 2016; Schwab et al., 2015; Tanner, 征收, 等人。,
2017; Tanner et al., 2015; Tanner, McFarland, 等人。, 2017).

Deﬁning PD Subgroups

PD-Memory Impaired (PD-MI): From the measures described below, those with PD who had a
memory composite score ≤ −1.5 (relative to non-PD peers) were classiﬁed as PD-MI (n = 9).
All others with PD were classiﬁed as PD without memory impairment (PD-Well; n = 31).
Those with and without PD-MI are discussed elsewhere (Tanner et al., 2015).

Cognitive Measures

While on medication, participants completed cognitive testing, neuroimaging, and the Uni-
ﬁed Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) to assess optimal performance and represent
normal functioning. All participants also completed tests on general cognition and mood,
PD symptoms and severity, comorbidity (Charlson, Pompei, Ales, & MacKenzie, 1987), 和
a neuropsychological protocol. Medications were reverted to a common metric (levodopa
equivalency dose, LED; Tomlinson et al., 2010). Blinded raters scored the data twice. The UP-
DRS III is a measure of PD motor symptom severity and was used as a correlate with network
indices.

Primary cognitive domains of interest: PD is brain disorder of the frontal-subcortical areas
known to alter the frontal-striatal cognitive functions of processing speed and working memory.
These domains were assessed using composites of standardized neuropsychological measures:

Processing speed: based on standardized scores from the Trail Making Test, Part A (全部的
时间; Heaton & Psychological Assessment Resources Inc., 2004), WAIS-III Digit Symbol
(total correct; Wechsler, 1991), and Stroop Color Word Test–Word Reading condition
(total correct; Golden & Freshwater, 2002).

Connectomes in Parkinson’s disease

Prodromal dementia:
The earliest stage of
neurodegenerative disease when
there is a decline in memory or
认识, but functional
independence remains intact.

Working memory: created from the Digit Span Backward (total span; Wechsler, 1991),
Spatial Span Backward (total score; Wechsler, 1991), and Letter Number Sequencing
(total correct; Wechsler, 1991).

In addition to frontal-striatal deﬁcits, we examined connectome indices relative to declarative
memory abilities, as this is an essential domain of prodromal dementia.

Verbal memory: created from selected index scores from the 12-word version of the
费城 (repeatable) Verbal Learning Test (磷(r)VLT (Price et al., 2009) and Wechsler
Memory Scale 3rd Revision (WMS-III) Logical Memory (LM) (Wechsler, 1991).

anterior and middle regions, Venetian blinding, checker boarding). No signiﬁcant artifacts
were observed. The process was also repeated after eddy current correction (eddy_correct).
Participant head motion during diffusion sequences was quantiﬁed with four measures using
TRACULA (Yendiki, Koldewyn, Kakunoori, Kanwisher, & 菲舍尔, 2013). Between-group regis-
tration and intensity-based metrics demonstrated no signiﬁcant group differences in diffusion

score χ2 = 0.26, p = 0.61), suggesting that data were appropriate for group comparisons.

Vvoxel is the MR voxel volume, Pvoxel is the number of streamline seed points per voxel, A
is the surface area of each node, M is the number of voxels making up the edge,
f p,m is
the streamline originating from seed point p in voxel m, 我( f p,米) is the length of f p,米, R is
the set of streamlines that originate from the voxels making up the space occupied by the
WM path connecting nodes ni and nj, and χR( f p,米) is the characteristic function that en-
sures the streamlines connecting nodes ni and nj originate from the space (IE。, voxels) 这
streamlines traverse between nodes ni and nj. The edge weight (方程 1) eliminates the
bias effects of the length of the streamlines, the seeding paradigm (IE。, Pvoxel), image resolu-
的 (IE。, Vvoxel), and tractography-speciﬁc experimental factors from the calculation; for more
details we refer the reader to Colon-Perez, Spindler, 等人. (2015). The characteristic function
(χR( f p,米), 方程 2) eliminates those streamlines that originate within the nodes and voxels
that do not represent the WM path connecting the nodes. 还, this edge weight quantiﬁes
the white matter strength between any two nodes in a dimensionless and scale-invariant man-
ner (Colon-Perez, Spindler, 等人。, 2015). The employed edge weight uses the strict criterion of
χR( f p,米) to determine the set streamlines used to quantify the strength of connectivity between
two nodes. Given the high level of false positives in tractography, this edge weight serves as a
layer of strict control to quantify the strength of connectivity between nodes.

The networks were analyzed in a weighted framework, as described in Colon-Perez, Couret,
Triplett, Price, and Mareci (2016). This approach is similar to the binary framework used by
Watts and Strogatz (1998), but with an additional degree of freedom from the edge weight-
英 (方程 1).
在我们之前的工作中, we showed that this weighted framework yields
topologically relevant features without the need for thresholds, therefore no threshold was
applied to generate the brain connectomes in this work (Colon-Perez et al., 2016). 虚弱的
edges in a network are thought to provide a cohesive strength to networks (Granovetter, 1973).
The ability to obtain stable connectome results across thresholds, shown in Colon-Perez et al.
(2016), allows us to maintain these weak edges in our analysis. These networks were studied
with the following indices: (A) graph density (Boccaletti, Latora, Moreno, Chavez, & Hwang,
2006), which is a binary metric that quantiﬁes the fraction of edges in a graph (only non-
weighted index in this study); (乙) node strength (纽曼, 2001), which is a weighted topo-
logical index of the relative connectivity strength of the nodes with the rest of the network; (C)
clustering coefﬁcient (张 & Horvath, 2005), which is a weighted metric that quantiﬁes the
strength of connectivity between the neighbors of a node; (d) path length (Colon-Perez et al.,
2016), which is a weighted metric that quantiﬁes the strength of the shortest path between two
节点; 和 (d) small-worldness (汉弗莱斯 & Gurney, 2008), which is a weighted metric that
estimates the likelihood that networks display similar path lengths and higher clustering to a
network connected by randomly assigned edges, as described by Erdös and Rényi (1959). 为了
a complete description of the weighted network analysis, refer to Colon-Perez et al. (2016).
The results of these network indices in this manuscript will be referred to as global for each
participant when the results are averaged into a single value for the entire brain network
(yields one value per participant). The local results for each participant refer to the average
values per node (yields 82 values per participant). Previous studies described global dif-
ferences in node strength and path length in patients with PD (Galantucci et al., 2016); 在
this work, we use these indices to identify local changes in network connectivity in addition
to corroborate previous global changes described by Galantucci et al. (2016). The cluster-
ing coefﬁcient is reduced globally in patients with PD (Luo et al., 2015); in this study, 我们

identify the local changes in clustering coefﬁcient and identify those nodes responsible for the
reduction. Several PD studies have conﬁrmed the small-world topology in controls and pa-
tients with PD; in this study, we assess whether PD-Well or PD-MI displays a difference from
controls.

Statistics and Correlations

Cognitive composites and network variables were tested for statistical signiﬁcance with a non-
parametric Mann-Whitney test using R (version 3.1.3) (Team, 2015). All node-speciﬁc network
results were controlled by the graph density to control the inﬂuence of global connectivity
features in local indices (IE。, node-speciﬁc; van Wijk, 斯塔姆, & Daffertshofer, 2010). To cor-
rect for multiple comparisons, we used the “fdrtool” package (Strimmer, 2008) and the false
nondiscovery rate, which estimates the proportion of nondiscovery rejections or type II errors
(Genovese & 沃瑟曼, 2002). This tool works by ﬁrst ﬁnding a suitable cutoff point using
an approximate null model, which is ﬁtted; 随后, a cutoff point is sought with a false
nondiscovery rate as small as possible. Scale parameters of the null model and proportion of
null values are then estimated from the data. The corresponding p values are computed, and a
modiﬁed Grenander algorithm (The Grenander, 1956, 1956, R implementation in fdrtool can
be found in https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/fdrtool/fdrtool.pdf) is used to ﬁnd the over-
all density and distribution function. 最后, adjusted p values are determined and reported.
Correlations were calculated between network indices (例如, node strength, path length, clus-
tering, small-worldness) and neuropsychological composites (例如, 工作记忆, 记忆
速度, and verbal memory). Since our goal is to identify the network indices that correlate with
the different neurocognitive domains under study, no correlations were assessed between the
various network indices. The correlations were estimated using a Spearman’s partial correla-
tion method controlling for education level using the “ppcor” package in R. With signiﬁcance
in our correlative analysis set at α = 0.05 and given our sample size of N = 80, we decided
to reduce potential false positives by considering only correlations larger than 0.50 (科恩,
1992).

结果

Demographics

Control and PD groups were not statistically different in their average age (桌子 1). The PD-
Well group did not show a signiﬁcant difference from controls in education, 工作记忆,
or memory composites (桌子 1).

The PD-Well participants’ working-memory scores did not show signiﬁcant deﬁcits, 然而
PD-MI was 0.88 standard deviations lower in working-memory score. The PD-MI group was
2.5 years less educated than controls (桌子 1) and PD-Well (p = 0.03, p value obtained be-
tween PD-MI and PW-Well). Relative to controls, PD-Well and PD-MI displayed a reduction
in their processing-speed scores (桌子 1).

The combined PD group (n = 40) had lower memory composite scores than controls
(p < 0.01). PD-Well had lower memory composite scores than controls, but this was not statis- tically signiﬁcant (p = 0.082; Table 1).

The node size and color represent the node strength, and the edge thickness represents the edge weight value. In particular, connections between nodes in the temporal lobe are smaller in size (representing a reduction in edge weight). The graph density (Figure 1B) in all groups was approximately 40% of all possible edges, with no signiﬁcant differences between con- trols and PD-Well (p = 0.249) or between controls and PD-MI (p = 0.624). To reduce the bias of graph density on network indices, these will be controlled by the graph density for the rest of the manuscript (van Wijk et al., 2010). A 4.99% reduction in mean node strength is observed over the entire network between controls and PD-Well (p = 0.041), whereas mean node strength in the PD-MI group was reduced relative to controls by 13.23% (p = 0.004; Figure 1C). The mean path lengths for the entire network were reduced by 1.97% between controls and PD-Well (p = 0.058), whereas the mean path lengths in the PD-MI group dis- played a signiﬁcant decrease of 11.7% (p = 0.014, Figure 2B). The mean clustering coefﬁcient for the entire network did not differ signiﬁcantly between controls and PD-Well (p = 0.162) or PD-MI (p = 0.320), with mean values approximately 0.55 (Figure 2A). The small-worldness in- dex did not differ signiﬁcantly between controls and PD-Well (p = 0.188) or PD-MI (p = 0.131), with mean values approximately 8.00 (Figure 2C). Also, we determined node strength, clus- tering coefﬁcient, and path length with a more traditional weighting scheme of FA as the edge weight. We did not ﬁnd any differences between controls and PD-Well or controls and PD-MI using FA as the edge weight (all p > 0.1; the database is available as an online supplement
and Supplementary Figure 3; see Colon-Perez et al., 2017).

For the controls, global network indices did not show any correlations with the

primary neuropsychological composites of interest (桌子 2). The memory composite score did
not correlate with any network index for any of the groups. The working-memory composite

Path length also showed a negative correlation with working memory between PD-Well and
controls. The PD-MI group showed negative correlations between all network indices and the
processing-speed composite (except small-worldness); working memory negatively correlated
with path length. For PD-MI, there were positive correlations between the Uniﬁed Parkinson’s

and PD-MI (no difference between controls and PD-Well; for speciﬁc node results, refer to ta-

为了 27 distinct nodes in node strength (数字 3), and two nodes for path length (数字 4). 那里
were no observed differences in clustering for any node. The left (Lf) pars opercularis and right

the nodes with statistically signiﬁcant differences can be seen in Supplementary Figure 1.

Bilateral differences in node strength between PD-MI and controls were found for the fol-

pRt = 0.040), inferior parietal (pLf = 0.031 and pRt = 0.019), postcentral (pLf = 0.017 和

Connectomes in Parkinson’s disease

讨论

In this study, we identiﬁed differences in the connectome organization for people with idio-
pathic PD with mild amnestic disturbance (PD-MI), and we explored correlations between
connectomes and the most vulnerable cognitive domains within PD relative to non-PD peers.
Global differences were identiﬁed in the PD-MI versus control groups, in mean node strength
and path length but not in clustering coefﬁcients, small-worldness, or graph density. No dif-
ferences were observed for any of the indices (global or local) for the PD-Well group versus
controls. We found that 27 在......之外 82 nodes showed local differences of connectivity in node
strength in the PD-MI group relative to controls (数字 3). Local node network differences in
node strength and path length were found in PD-MI brains and were speciﬁc to the Lf pars
opercularis, and Rt putamen (Supplementary Figure 1). Bilateral differences between controls
and PD-MI were found in node strength for the putamen, caudal middle frontal, inferior pari-
etal, postcentral, posterior cingulate, rostral middle frontal, precentral, and precuneus. 这
right putamen was the only subcortical region that displayed a signiﬁcant connectome alter-
ation in the form of a reduction in node strength and path length. Node strength and cognitive
composites further showed a potential large-scale network connectivity reduction in PD-MI
relative to normal cognitive areas of vulnerability. This study shows key connectome indices
for consideration in PD-Well and PD-MI phenotypes.

Structural Differences

Robust connectome differences between PD-MI and controls were observed at the global level
with mean node strength and mean path length. In this study, groups’ structural connectomes
showed many similar levels of connectivity, as shown in the weighted top edges in Figure 1A
and their graph densities in Figure 1B. Relative to non-PD peers, mean node strength was al-
tered by 5% 和 13% for PD-Well and PD-MI, 分别, and mean path length was changed
2% 和 11%, 分别. These ﬁndings in node strength and path length suggest a reduction
in the integrity of white matter connectivity in PD. The path length alteration in PD is directly
related to the node strength reduction (IE。, r = 0.92). The edges (IE。, edge weights) connect-
ing nodes that in turn yield the shortest path between nodes possibly decreases because of
the neurodegeneration of white matter in PD (Tessitore, Giordano, Russo, & Tedeschi, 2016).
The absence of group differences in clustering coefﬁcient and small-worldness, which is con-
ﬁrmed by a previous report (Galantucci et al., 2016), may suggest a method to compensate
for PD changes where the brain network adapts to preserve its small-worldness and clustering
特征. 所以, the changes in node strength and path length could be markers of PD
progression and cognitive decline. Although cross-sectional and preliminary, these ﬁndings
suggest a local and global network reduction in connectivity with an amnestic disturbance
(IE。, PD-MI).

To further explore the relevance of particular node alterations, we performed local
topological analyses that revealed evidence of local network disruption in PD-MI. Node
strength and path length abnormalities were seen with the left pars opercularis and right
putamen. The frontal region is involved in networks of language, 注意力, 和工作-
ing memory (Lezak, 2012; Petrides, 2000; Stuss et al., 2005; Zola-Morgan & Squire, 1986;
Zola-Morgan, Squire, & Amaral, 1986), while the subcortical nuclei of the putamen is in-
volved in PD motor symptomatology (Braak, Ghebremedhin, Rub, Bratzke, & Del Tredici,
2004; Lisanby et al., 1993; Nemmi, Sabatini, Rascol, & Peran, 2015; Price et al., 2016). 铝-
though preliminary, these connectivity reductions primarily in left cortical areas validate the
proﬁle of our PD-MI, particularly given that the PD-MI group was classiﬁed with verbal memory

proﬁle is also consistent with other reports showing anterior and lateral temporal thinning and
volume reduction in PD-MI (Crowley et al., 2017; Pagonabarraga et al., 2013; Tanner et al.,

这一点, we would like to illustrate a larger issue in the connectomics litera-
在
真实:
在这项工作中, we found a discrepancy be-
the lack of a ground truth edge weight.
tween our weighted framework (Colon-Perez et al., 2016) and an FA weighting scheme.
Several works have been published that bring attention to the inadequacies of tradition-
ally used edge weighting schemes in network neuroscience. Cheng et al. (2012) ﬁrst de-
scribed how increasing seed density improves the stability of network metrics. 然而,
there is a caveat that higher seed densities lead to a larger number of spurious streamlines
and thus affect the connectome.
In our edge weight scheme, we employ a large num-
ber of seeds per voxel to increase its stability and use the characteristic function (Equa-
的 2) to mitigate the effects of spurious streamlines (Colon-Perez, Spindler, 等人。, 2015).
布坎南, Pernet, Gorgolewski, Storkey, and Bastin (2014) 建议
that some measure of
streamline density (as our edge weight) is superior to FA since it produces better test-retest
表现. These biases and others are attempted to be controlled or reduced by our
weighting scheme (Colon-Perez, Spindler, 等人。, 2015). Our work and that of many others
are under way to develop new and better ways to weigh networks in connectome studies that
improve the stability of network metrics derived from tractography (Colon-Perez et al., 2016;

are not claiming that our weighting scheme is a more accurate representation of the underlying
anatomical connectivity than others; but with our previous articles and this one, we hope to
continue the discussion to ﬁnd new and novel ways to weigh connectomes.

Functional MRI studies have shown that disruptions in the motor networks of patients with
PD correlate with disease severity (Wu et al., 2009). These functional changes are likely ac-
companied by structural disruption, potentially like the ones described here. Microstructural
changes have been reported in PD using diffusion tensor imaging. Lower FA has been observed
in the substantia nigra and the striatum in patients with PD (Tessitore et al., 2016). 相比之下,
FA increases have been noted in the corpus callosum and the superior longitudinal fascicu-
字 (Gattellaro et al., 2009). This white matter change leads us to hypothesize that interhemi-
spheric connectivity alterations are mediated via the corpus callosum and within-hemisphere
alterations through the superior longitudinal fasciculus (Northam et al., 2012). Reductions in
FA have also been reported in participants with PD in the putamen, substantia nigra, striatum,
frontal lobes, and motor areas (Zhan et al., 2012). These brain connectivity changes are not
only restricted to MRI but also have been observed with SPECT (Booij et al., 1997) and PET
(布鲁克斯, 1995). Altogether, the research ﬁndings, including our study, suggest many changes
in PD may coalesce into a reorganization of the structural brain connectome. We recognize
that these connectome differences may not be unique to memory-impaired PD because simi-
lar differences have been reported in patients with epilepsy after anterior temporal lobectomy
(Ji et al., 2015), and in individuals with PD after deep brain stimulation (van Hartevelt et al.,
2014).

Cognitive-Network Correlations

Cognitive-network analyses help to validate group-level structural differences. We examined
key cognitive domains compromised in PD: processing speed, 工作记忆, and episodic

Connectomes in Parkinson’s disease

记忆. Our observations suggest that PD-MI had more correlations between neuropsycho-
logical composites and connectivity indices than PD-Well and non-PD peers. For PD-Well,
correlations were found between working memory and node strength, as well as for working
memory and path length. The PD-Well group’s working memory showed a negative corre-
lation with node strength and path length (IE。, higher node strength and path lengths were
associated with lower working-memory scores). The topological changes suggest a possible
maladaptation in the brain networks of those with PD, as suggested in other neurological dis-
orders (Doucet et al., 2015; Drakesmith et al., 2015; Wu et al., 2009). 因此, these topological
indices might be used as markers for cognitive performance in PD.

There were no signiﬁcant local network correlations between the network indices and neu-
ropsychology composites in the control group (数字 5). This negative ﬁnding is expected
given this group’s relative cohesiveness, intact performance, and restricted range of scores. 在
对比, the PD-Well group showed an increased number of strong correlations, 而
PD-MI showed an even higher number of strong correlations. The increase in the number of
correlations might reﬂect a progressive alteration of brain connectivity mediating the cognitive
衰退. Although we observed increasing numbers of correlations between network indices
and neuropsychological composites, we did not ﬁnd verbal memory correlations to any of
the network indices. The lack of correlations between verbal memory and network indices in
PD-MI was possibly due to the restricted range of their scores (all impaired).

Study Strengths and Limitations

全面的, the study strengths include the presentation of a comprehensive correlational analysis
between network topology and cognition using various neuropsychological indices, prospec-
tive PD and control matching on demographic variables (IE。, age and education), and robust
identiﬁcation of memory impairment in PD. The PD subgroup cognitive proﬁles showed ex-
pected reductions in processing speed for PD relative to non-PD controls, with PD-MI show-
ing reductions in memory and processing speed. 在这项工作中, we used a weighted network
method that yields more stable topological metric results than binary network methods and is
robust despite graph density differences; 因此, it does not require thresholding to generate
the connectomes (Colon-Perez et al., 2016). Topological features of binary network connec-
tomes may be affected by their graph density and ultimately may hinder comparisons between
团体 (Langer, Pedroni, & Jancke, 2013; 斯波恩斯, 2011乙). We could circumvent the problem
of thresholding by employing a weighted framework that reduces the effects of thresholding in
network indices results (Colon-Perez et al., 2016).

The authors recognize some of the study limitations. MR tractography is susceptible to
false positives and false negatives; 因此, care is required when analyzing and interpreting
tractography-derived results (Alhourani & 理查森, 2015). In this study, we used a different
edge weight to calculate the strength of connectivity between nodes. This approach reduces
the tractography bias effects of seed density and length (Colon-Perez, Spindler, 等人。, 2015).
还, the edge weight is deﬁned only along the path of the streamlines, which reduces the
possibility of obtaining streamlines from extraneous areas. 还, the use of a weighted net-
work deﬁnes connectomes as a set of weak and strong connections, which has been shown
to reduce the effects of false-positive connections in the quantiﬁcation of connectome indices
using binary networks (Colon-Perez et al., 2016). 而且, false-positive connections yield
connectome edges with a small number of streamlines, which in turn corresponds to a low
edge weight value; these spurious links will only produce changes in node strength of less than
1% (Colon-Perez et al., 2016). Another limitation is the relatively low spatial resolution (2 毫米

Connectomes in Parkinson’s disease

isotropic for diffusion images) in tractography, which is a limiting factor when estimating small
tracts and may lead to false negatives (Colon-Perez, 国王, 等人。, 2015; Ford et al., 2013). 在
the current work, we used high angular-resolution diffusion imaging to increase the angular
resolution and enable better estimation of the ﬁber orientation on each voxel (Jian et al., 2007;
Tuch et al., 2002). It also has been reported that the connectome changes with age (Wu et al.,
2007). 然而, the mean and range of age in each group is similar to ensure there were no
age differences between groups. 因此, the current results may only apply to similarly aged
人口. We also did not consider genetics, which has been shown to modulate connec-
tome topology in patients with PD through the rs405509 risk allele (TT) (Shu et al., 2015). 一个
additional limitation is the relatively small sample size of this study, particularly within the
PD-MI group (n = 9). Future studies are encouraged using larger sample sizes and additional
explorations of network differences in memory versus other cognitive (例如, executive working,
注意力) deﬁcits.

CONCLUDING REMARKS

Our connectome analyses suggest a loss and reorganization of brain white matter structure
in PD, particularly PD with memory impairment. We identiﬁed a reduction of connectome
topological and neuropsychological indices. Our results show a relationship between cog-
nitive deﬁcits and connectome structure alteration in PD with mild cognitive impairments.
It remains to be determined whether the observed network changes are causal of the neu-
rocognitive deﬁcits or vice versa. 还, further studies are needed to assess the mechanisms
relating to the observed topological changes in brain structure to the neurocognitive deﬁcits.
The data suggest a broader change, at the level of the connectome, associated with the clinical
manifestations of cognitive phenotypes, particularly the memory phenotype of PD.
