Abstract

AbstractBackgroundMinor hallucinations (mHs) and well‐structured major hallucinations (MHs) are common symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) psychosis.ObjectivesTo investigate the resting‐state networks (RSNs) in patients with PD without hallucinations (PD‐nH), with mH (PD‐mH), and with MH (PD‐MH).MethodsA total of 73 patients with PD were enrolled (27 PD‐nH, 23 PD‐mH, and 23 PD‐MH). Using seed‐based functional connectivity analyses, we investigated the RSNs supposedly related to hallucinations in PD: the default mode network (DMN), executive control network (ECN), dorsal attention network (DAN), ventral attention network (VAN), and visual network (VN). We compared the cognitive function and RSN connectivity among the three groups. In addition, we performed a seed‐to‐seed analysis to examine the inter‐network connectivity within each group using the corresponding RSN seeds.ResultsPD‐MH group had lower test scores for attention and visuospatial functions compared with those in the other groups. The connectivity of the right intracalcarine cortex within the DAN was lower in the PD‐MH group than in the others. The PD‐mH and PD‐MH groups showed higher connectivity in the left orbitofrontal cortex within DMN compared with the PD‐nH group, whereas the connectivity was lower in the right middle frontal gyrus (MFG) within ECN, precuneus cortex within VAN, right middle temporal gyrus and precuneus cortex within DAN, and left MFG within VN. The PD‐mH and PD‐MH groups showed different inter‐network connectivity between the five RSNs, especially regarding DAN connectivity.ConclusionsDAN dysfunction may be a key factor in the progression from mH to MH in patients with PD. © 2023 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
