“…The study of functional connectivity (FC) in PD is relatively young (Baudrexel et al, 2011;Göttlich et al, 2013;Hacker et al, 2012;Helmich et al, 2010;Luo et al, 2014;Poston and Eidelberg, 2012;Sharman et al, 2013;Wu et al, 2009Wu et al, , 2011aWu et al, , 2012Yu et al, 2013). An early study evaluating resting-state FC (rsFC) in PD showed that rsFC between the pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) and putamen was decreased, whereas that between the pre-SMA and primary motor cortex (M1) was increased (Wu et al, 2011a).…”
