Investigating Time Distortion in Parkinson's Disease Considering Impaired Frontoparietal Network and Changes in the Brain Dynamic.

Comprehensive Summary

This study, presented by Maryam Mollazadeh Azari, et al., examines the nature of Parkinson's disease in relation to better understanding time distortion and it's beginnings by comparing patients with PD to control patients. The researchers conducted this study by way of using EEG signals to examine brain function in duration with time distortion. The segmentation and features of the EEG signal were extracted across all channels and analyzed, showing a large discrepancy between the control group and patients with PD. The researchers were able to find that different channels were focused primarily in the central and parietal parts of the brain and appeared to be linked to memory, decision-making, and retrieving information. This further pushed for the notion that the EEG analysis revealed that the areas of the frontal and partial network had been disrupted, ultimately affecting temporal processing which is in conjunction with time distortion.

Outcomes and Implications

The research in this article is imperative to the world of medicine. Neurodegenerative diseases are still being studied and analyzed in hopes of one day finding a cure to such issues, by studying PD in particular and utilizing EEG analysis to be able to detect how other portions of the brain in patients with PD are compromised, it can better help scientists and doctors manage said disease. This can also pave the way for future led research on possible cures and stronger treatment plans for patients with PD and the progression of the disease.
