“…Although studies have shown associations with EDS symptoms in PD including non-tremor dominant phenotype, autonomic dysfunction, depression, anxiety, and disorders of rapid eye movement sleep behavior (Simuni et al, 2015;Amara et al, 2017;Wen et al, 2017), the neural mechanism of EDS in PD remains poorly understood. The lack of correlation between EDS and disease severity of PD [Hoehn & Yahr stage (H&Y)] has led to the notion that the EDS might be associated with PD-specific pathology (Yousaf et al, 2018b). However, in vivo neuroimaging quantification has been used to detect early pathophysiological changes in PD with EDS (PD-EDS), potentially serving as a biomarker for disease progression and treatment monitoring (Chondrogiorgi et al, 2016;Wen et al, 2017;Ashraf-Ganjouei et al, 2019).…”
