The hypothalamus plays a key regulatory role in autonomic function and has been shown to be affected in Parkinson's disease. Here, using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, we investigated whether microstructural properties of the hypothalamus differ in Parkinson's disease patients with high compared to low autonomic symptom burden.Parkinson's disease patients with low (n=25) and high (n=25) autonomic s… Show more
