Study finds evidence of inflammation in the blood of patients during the early stages of Parkinson's disease. The findings support the theory that inflammation is a driver of the neurodegenerative disorder. The effect was most noticed in women with Parkinson's. Read More
Impaired motor function, such as that experienced by Parkinson's patients, appears to influence the perception of art, researchers report. Read More
Specific and identifiable neural pathways are altered with particular functions during the different progressive stages of Parkinson's disease. Read More
A new study reveals some experimental antibody treatments for neurodegenerative disorders increase neuroinflammation. The effect was seen in human microglia, not mouse microglia. This may explain why mouse studies have shown these treatments to be effective, but the effect has not been replicated in human studies. Read More
While Parkinson's disease is known to generally affect motor function, there is a range of other symptoms associated with the neurodegenerative disease. Some additional symptoms include changes to the skin on the face and problems forming facial expressions. A new AI system is able to detect subtle changes in facial attributes associated with Parkinson's disease. Read More
Researchers have successfully recorded brain signatures of movement symptoms and deep brain stimulation of Parkinson's patients in real time. The findings could lay the groundwork for personalize therapies for those with the neurodegenerative disease. Read More
A new model of Parkinson's disease sheds light on the asymmetrical motor symptoms, and other disorders, associated with this disease. Read More
A new study reveals those who score high on the personality traits associated with neuroticism are at higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease. Read More
Exercise helped to reduce cognitive decline two years later in Parkinson's patients with the APOE e4 gene variant. Read More
PINK1, a gene associated with Parkinson's disease, is not just responsible for the premature death of dopaminergic neurons, it also plays a key role in the neurogenesis of dopamine neurons throughout life. Read More
Researchers have developed a new, non-invasive test to diagnose Parkinson's disease which relies on a simple skin swab. The test analyses sebum, the oily substance that coats and protects the skin. People with Parkinson's often have increased production of sebum. The researchers identified 10 compounds within sebum that were either elevated or reduced in people with Parkinson's. Read More
