Advances in MRI studies of Parkinson's disease with anxiety

Abstract

Anxiety is a common non-motor symptom (NMS) of Parkinson's disease (PD). It is mostly seen in the early stage of PD, and can even appear before the typical motor symptoms which severely affects the quality of life of PD patients. Structural and functional MRI technology reveals the pathological and physiological mechanism of PD with anxiety through the cortical and subcortical morphological changes and brain functional changes related to PD with anxiety, which is of great significance to improve the early diagnosis of PD with anxiety.
