    Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder that presents significant diagnostic challenges, especially in atypical cases.

  • 2

    The study utilized advanced multilevel random-effects models to conduct a multimodal meta-analysis of brain connectivity in PD.

  • 3

    Different neuroimaging modalities revealed distinct patterns of brain network alterations in PD, highlighting modality-specific disruptions.

  • 4

    Diminished local specialization and global integration were observed in PD through diffusion MRI, indicating significant connectivity deficits.

  • 5

    Functional MRI showed lower network segregation in PD, while structural MRI and EEG did not demonstrate consistent abnormalities.
