Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between disruption of MRI-measured resting-state functional connectivity (rs-fcMRI) brain networks and CSF levels of potentially pathogenic proteins that reflect brain pathology in Parkinson disease (PD).Methods: PD participants without dementia (n = 43) and age-matched controls (n = 22) had lumbar punctures to measure CSF protein levels, Pittsburgh compound B (PiB)-PET imaging, and rs-fcMRI while off medication. Imaging analyses focused on 5 major resting-state networks as well as the striatum.Results: Participants with PD had significantly reduced sensorimotor functional connectivity, which correlated with reduced CSF levels of alpha-synuclein. The PD group also had significantly stronger default mode network functional connectivity that did not correlate with CSF beta-amyloid (A beta)(42) or PiB uptake. In contrast, default mode network functional connectivity in the control group did correlate with CSF A beta(42) levels. Functional connectivity was similar between groups in the dorsal attention, control, and salience networks.Conclusion: These results suggest that abnormal alpha-synuclein accumulation, but not A beta, contributes to the disruption of motor-related functional connectivity in PD. Furthermore, correlating CSF protein measures with the strength of resting-state networks provides a direct link between abnormal alpha-synuclein metabolism and disrupted brain function in PD.
