Outline of Final Research Achievements

To clarify pathophysiology of the masked face in Parkinson disease (PD), we analyzed temporal changes of facial expression using motion capture technique. We also investigated the relationships between masked-face and cognitive / affective symptoms and investigated neural substrate for masked-face using neuroimaging analyses. As a result, we studied 38 PD patients and 24 healthy controls, and we found a significant decrease of facial expression in the PD group. In addition, facial expression score was associated with psychological score such as attention / executive function, and depression scores. Furthermore, the resting state fMRI analysis showed significant differences in functional connectivity mainly in the frontal lobe in the PD with sever masked-face group. We concluded that the masked face of PD might be related to not only motor symptoms but also cognitive affective disorders.
