Analysis of white matter characteristics with tract-based spatial statistics according to diffusion tensor imaging in early Parkinson's disease

There is wide alteration of white matter microstructure in early PD patients, which is characterized by disruption of projection fibers in the descending pathway, limbic system-related fasciculi, corpus callosum, thalamus after radiation, posterior thalamic radiation, Gratiolet's bundle and other fasciculi in the white matter.
