Session Title: Parkinson's Disease: Neuroimaging And Neurophysiology
Session Time: 1:15pm-2:45pm
Location: Exhibit Hall C
Objective: (i)To elucidate the metabolic correlates sub-serving the clinical expression of ICD in PD and (ii) to evaluate the association between the glucose metabolism and the ICD scores.
Background: A substantial subset of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients suffers from impulse control disorders (ICD)1. Previous metabolic/ functional neuroimaging studies exhibit a differential activation of reward-related cerebral areas but their methodological heterogeneity makes it difficult to provide firm conclusions2.
Methods: Twenty-two PD-ICD patients according to the QUIP-RS scale, and nineteen healthy controls (HC) underwent [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET) in “on drug” state in resting condition. Regional glucose metabolism and its correlations with the QUIP-RS score were assessed using SPM8.
Results: As PD-ICD patients [19 male, 3 female; 59.9±8.7 years old; 8.5±4.2 years of disease evolution; UPDRS ON motor score 19.2±2.29; Daily LEDTOTAL 1446 mg ±129.87] differed from healthy controls (10 male, 9 female; 68. ±3.2 years old) in age and sex, we included them as covariates for comparisons. PD-ICD patients exhibited lower FDG uptake bilaterally in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and to a lesser extent in the left perirhinal cortex than HC without any region of hypermetabolism. QUIP-RS score correlated negatively with FDG uptake in the medial OFC.
Conclusions:
There is a bilateral and non-task related hypometabolism in stimulus-reward association areas in PD-ICD patients compared to HC, which is negatively correlated with the severity of this behavioral disorder.
