Brain imaging and networks in restless legs syndrome

• MRI studies using iron-sensitive sequences detected low brain iron content in RLS.• Nuclear medicine findings in RLS support dopaminergic dysfunction.• RLS seems to be a network disorder, involving sensorimotor and limbic networks.• Increasing evidence suggests a role of the thalamus in the pathophysiology of RLS.
