Key Points

The aim is to explore the beta-band network alterations that occur before freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease.
Analysis of local beta segregation and fronto-posterior connectivity patterns.
Evaluation of neurophysiological markers related to freezing episodes.
Increased local beta segregation was observed.
Reduced fronto-posterior connectivity was linked to freezing of gait episodes.

Abstract

Increased local beta segregation and reduced fronto-posterior connectivity may reflect network alterations that precedes freezing episodes. Such patterns could help identify neurophysiological markers for predicting and potentially preventing FOG in PD. © 2026 The Author(s).
