Evidence was found of diffuse functional reorganization involving multiple large‐scale networks in the Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) brain, independent of structural abnormalities and partially correlating with peripheral nerve damage and functional impairment. These results, using CMT1A patients as a possible model to explore brain modifications associated with peripheral nervous system pathology, may shed new light onto central nervous system physiopathology and its role in the development of clinical disability in peripheral neuropathies.
