Exploring Structural Changes in Basal Ganglia and LID in Parkinson’s Disease

Discovering the hidden secrets of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) requires a closer look at the mysterious basal ganglia (BG). In this study, researchers used a cutting-edge surface-based shape analysis technique to investigate structural changes in the BG that may be associated with LID. They compared two groups of PD patients: one group […]
