Altered functional brain connectivity in Dyt1 knock-in mouse models by R. Z. Adury, B. J. Wilkes, P. Girdhar, Y. Li, D. E. Vaillancourt, D. E. Vaillancourt, D. E. Vaillancourt

“…We also hypothesized that EMX mice would exhibit altered functional connectivity and activation patterns, supporting the idea that TorsinA dysfunction in the sensorimotor cortex alone can induce network abnormalities. In dGAG animals, we observed significantly lower functional connectivity between key sensorimotor nodes, such as the globus pallidus, somatosensory cortex, thalamus, and cerebellum. …”
