결론: Atrophy spread pattern 은 transneuronal (=transsynaptic) connectivity 와 regional factor (eg oligodendrocyte/endothelial cell들이 적은쪽으로 진행한다! (cf:
Other routes of spreading include exosomes and tunneling nanotubes. Because these routes of transmission are membrane-bound, the aSYN in these structures is not accessible to antibodies)
- No significant clusters presented significantly greater atrophy after 1 year
- atrophy significantly progressed over 2 and 4 years in the caudate, nucleus accumbens, hippocampus and posterior cortical regions (atrophy 방향이 옆등 아니라 post-cortical 이다).
The progression of atrophy was more pronounced in regions with a higher expression of genes related to synapses, Progression of atrophy in Parkinson's disease is in line with the prion-like propagation hypothesis of alpha-syn, synapses may be especially vulnerable to synopathy (Neibhboring region에서 more atrophy 였다는 관찰 했다는 ㄴ듯)
- When investigating the association between the mean atrophy progression of the seven resting-state networks after 2 and 4 years and the change in clinical measures over the same time period, no significant correlations were found after correcting for multiple comparisons.
- cortical regions containing relatively more oligodendrocytes and endothelial cells had reduced vulnerability to atrophy
- SN may not show atrophy progression due to a floor effect (cell loss being already severe at presentation),
- while the brainstem is difficult to assess with DBM. Cortical atrophy patterns may be expected to relate to cognitive impairment; however, no cognitive decline was observed in this patient group, possibly due to a form of attrition bias affecting the PPMI cohort, whereby more severely affected individuals tended not to undergo ...

Uncertain Spans

  • The Greffard / Bernheimer correlation row’s red text in the right-most cell is laid out as broken phrases with ellipsis-like glyphs (r=-0...001); the digit groups have been reproduced as visually read but the embedded periods are typographic artifacts of the source layout, not decimals.
  • “FDR에서 다 not signifincnat” — signifincnat is a typo in the source (should be significant); preserved verbatim.
  • “Neibhboring region에서 more atrophy 였다는 관찰 했다는 ㄴ듯” — the closing Korean filler ㄴ듯 reads ambiguously and may be a partial token.
  • “(B) y-axis 1200-” — the second panel of the TH immunohistochemistry figure starts at y-axis label 1200 and is clipped at the row boundary; the bottom of the panel is not visible in the body crops.
  • “atrophy 방향이 옆등 아니라 post-cortical 이다” — the Korean phrase 옆등 아니라 reads as 옆도 아니라 or similar; the visible glyph is 옆등 and is preserved verbatim.
