Thirty-one consecutive drug-naïve PD patients from the Neurological Clinic of the University of Flor-ence underwent clinical assessment, neuropsychological assessment, MRI, [123I]FP-CIT SPECT, [18F]FDG PET. First, [18F]FDG-PET was employed to identify in drug-naïve PD patients brain metabolic alteration uniquely related to disease process and not modulated by anti-parkinsonian therapeutic intervention. Second, [18F]FDG-PET and [123I]FP-CIT SPECT were employed together to explore the early functional changes in brain function related to dopaminergic depletion in the putamen and in the caudate nucleus. 2022-05-31T10:18:02Z 2022-05-31T10:18:02Z 2011 book ONIX_20220531_9788866550419_247 2612-8020 9788866550419 9788866550372 9788892736450 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/54963 eng Premio Tesi di Dottorato application/pdf n/a 9788866550419.pdf https://books.fupress.com/isbn/9788866550419 Firenze University Press 10.36253/978-88-6655-041-9 10.36253/978-88-6655-041-9 bf65d21a-78e5-4ba2-983a-dbfa90962870 9788866550419 9788866550372 9788892736450 18 68 Firenze open access
