Exploring impaired self-awareness of motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease: Resting-state fMRI correlates and the connection to mindfulness.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To further explore the phenomenon of impaired self-awareness of motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's Disease by using an evaluated measurement approach applied in previous studies, while also examining its connection with dispositional mindfulness and possible correlates of functional connectivity.

Background

Recently, the phenomenon of impaired self-awareness has been studied more intensively by applying different measurement and imaging methods. Existing literature also points towards a possible connection with mindfulness, which has not been examined in a cross-sectional study. There is no data available concerning correlates of functional connectivity.

Methods

Non-demented patients with idiopathic Parkinson's Disease without severe depression were
