Functional connectivity and metabolic brain alterations in sleepwalkers
The increased connectivity in the sensory-motor network of DoA patients could constitute a "facilitatory medium" enhancing motor circuit activation, while the connectivity and metabolic alterations of PCC might represent a trait functional feature, contributing to a dysfunctional arousal process and the difficulty to reach a complete awareness during DoA episodes. In addition, these alterations at rest might be related to daytime impairment reported by patients, requiring new strategies for DoA management.
