Abstract
MIBG uptake in the parotid and submandibular glands might be a candidate biomarker for PD. The missing correlation between MIBG uptake and clinical PD parameters suggests that ASP of the extracranial sympathetic superior cervical ganglion, which innervates the major salivary glands, develops independently from the cerebral dopaminergic nigrostriatal ASP.
