Abstract:ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate whether spontaneous brain activity can be used as a prospective indicator to identify cognitive impairment in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).MethodsResting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging (RS‐fMRI) was performed on PD patients. The cognitive level of patients was assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale. The fractional amplitude of low‐frequency fluctuation (fALFF) was applied to measure the strength of spontaneous brain activity. C… Show more
