Connectivity in patients with Parkinson’s disease in the OFF state. (A) Differences in endogenous connectivity between healthy controls (HC) and patients with Parkinson’s disease OFF medication (PD-OFF). Red arrows indicate a significantly reduced connectivity between two regions in patients as compared to controls. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, Bonferroni-corrected for multiple comparisons. Bars represent coupling strength in 1/s. Error bars = SEM. (B) Selective difference in condition-specific connectivity between patients with Parkinson’s disease OFF medication (PD-OFF) and healthy controls (HC), depending on externally cued (Extern) or internally selected (Intern) movement lateralization. Green arrow indicates a significantly increased connectivity of the lateral premotor loop between PFC and PMC in patients OFF medication in the Extern condition. *P < 0.05, Bonferroni-corrected for multiple comparisons; n.s. = not significant. Bars represent coupling strength in 1/s. Error bars = SEM. (C) Selective difference in behavioural performance between patients with Parkinson’s disease OFF medication (PD-OFF) and healthy controls (HC), depending on externally cued (Extern, preserved performance in patients) or internally selected (Intern, impaired performance in patients) movement lateralization. *P < 0.05; n.s. = not significant. Bars represent reaction time in milliseconds (ms). Error bars = SEM. CB = cerebellum; Put = putamen; Tha = thalamus.
