Résumé

Transcranial magnetic stimulation-electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) has demonstrated decreased excitability in the primary motor cortex (M1) and increased excitability in the pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) in moderate-advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim was to investigate whether these abnormalities are evident from the early stages of the disease, their behavioral correlates, and relationship to cortico-subcortical connections. Twenty-eight early, drug-naive (de novo) PD patients and 28 healthy controls (HCs) underwent TMS-EEG to record TMS-evoked potentials (TEPs) from the primary motor cortex (M1) and the pre-SMA, kinematic recording of finger-tapping movements, and a 3T-MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan to obtain diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) reconstruction of white matter (WM) tracts connecting M1 to the ventral lateral anterior thalamic nucleus and pre-SMA to the anterior putamen. We found reduced M1 TEP P30 amplitude in de novo PD patients compared to HCs and similar pre-SMA TEP N40 amplitude between groups. PD patients exhibited smaller amplitude and slower velocity in finger-tapping movements and altered structural integrity in WM tracts of interest, although these changes did not correlate with TEPs. M1 hypoexcitability is a characteristic of PD from early phases and may be a marker of the parkinsonian state. Pre-SMA hyperexcitability is not evident in early PD and possibly emerges at later stages of the disease. © 2024 The Author(s).

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Transcranial magnetic stimulation-electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) has demonstrated decreased excitability in the primary motor cortex (M1) and increased excitability in the pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) in moderate-advanced Parkinson's disease (PD).
OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVE
The aim was to investigate whether these abnormalities are evident from the early stages of the disease, their behavioral correlates, and relationship to cortico-subcortical connections.
METHODS METHODS
Twenty-eight early, drug-naive (de novo) PD patients and 28 healthy controls (HCs) underwent TMS-EEG to record TMS-evoked potentials (TEPs) from the primary motor cortex (M1) and the pre-SMA, kinematic recording of finger-tapping movements, and a 3T-MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan to obtain diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) reconstruction of white matter (WM) tracts connecting M1 to the ventral lateral anterior thalamic nucleus and pre-SMA to the anterior putamen.
RESULTS RESULTS
We found reduced M1 TEP P30 amplitude in de novo PD patients compared to HCs and similar pre-SMA TEP N40 amplitude between groups. PD patients exhibited smaller amplitude and slower velocity in finger-tapping movements and altered structural integrity in WM tracts of interest, although these changes did not correlate with TEPs.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
M1 hypoexcitability is a characteristic of PD from early phases and may be a marker of the parkinsonian state. Pre-SMA hyperexcitability is not evident in early PD and possibly emerges at later stages of the disease. © 2024 The Author(s).
