Arianna Cascone et al. examine the relationship between frontoparietal brain network resilience and cognitive decline in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Their results suggest that individuals with PD and cognitive decline exhibit reduced tolerance to network "attacks" or perturbation in the frontoparietal network, compared to both individuals with PD with normal cognition and healthy, non-PD controls.
