Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Identification and presentation of genetic and metabolomic changes and significantly changed connectivity in cerebral networks, which differ in between subtypes of parkinsons disease. We compare imaging data ([18F]FDG-PET,[18F]Dopa-PET,rsMRT) and clinical data of patients and healthy controls at baseline and of patients at baseline and 2-year-follow-up.
