Abstract
RLS patients showed that greater ReHo within the striatum, thalamus and the limbic system, which implies that the emotional processing, motion control and cognition in the cortico-striatal-thalamic-cortical (CSTC) loop may be the site of dysfunction in RLS patients. This finding may provide imaging evidence to explore the pathophysiology of RLS. On the other hand, we did not see any change in the microstructure in the DTI analysis for RLS patients when compared to the NC group, which suggests a metabolic impairment.
