[Abstract] Objective Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a common non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) and an important prognostic factor. This study analyzed the degree centrality (DC) and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) values among three groups of PD patients with and without RBD, as well as the healthy control group, using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging to explore the brain functional activity characteristics and RBD-specific brain regions of PD patients with RBD (PD-RBD), and to explore the pathological mechanism of RBD occurrence.Materials and Methods The study analyzed data from 20 PD patients with RBD (PD-RBD group), 40 PD patients without RBD (PD-nonRBD group), and 44 healthy controls (HC group), three groups of participants underwent magnetic resonance scanning. DC and ALFF values were calculated to measure brain activity.Results The results showed that the brain regions most affected by DC values were the right anterior central gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, cerebellum, and middle frontal gyrus (P<0.05, FDR-corrected). The left parahippocampal gyrus, cuneiform lobe, and lingual gyrus were the main regions affected by ALFF values (P<0.05, FDR-corrected). Further analysis revealed that PD-RBD patients had an increased DC value in the right middle frontal gyrus compared to PD-nonRBD patients (t=4.02, P=0.007, FDR-corrected), while the DC value of the left precuneus decreased (t=5.30, P=0.009, FDR-corrected). Compared to the control group, PD-RBD patients had increased DC values in the left superior frontal gyrus, cerebellum, right superior temporal gyrus, left middle temporal gyrus, and middle frontal gyrus (P<0.05, FDR-corrected), while the DC values of the left anterior central gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, and middle temporal gyrus were decreased (P<0.05, FDR-corrected). The ALFF value of the right cuneus was also reduced (P<0.05, FDR-corrected).Conclusions These findings suggest that PD-RBD patients have unique imaging features on DC and ALFF, especially, functional abnormalities in the right middle frontal gyrus and left anterior cuneiform lobe may be closely related to the occurrence of RBD in PD patients.
