Grafting neurons derived from a monkey's own stem cells reversed the debilitating and mental health symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease. The treatment shows promise for alleviating the symptoms of Parkinson's in humans.
Researchers have developed a new mathematical algorithm that can detect dyskinesia in Parkinson's patients.
Selective estrogen treatments appear to reduce symptoms of Parkinson's disease in male mice. The study sheds light on sex-based differences associated with the disease and may provide new therapeutic avenues for treatment.
A new study reports Parkinson's related dyskinesia occurs when striatonigral neurons become less responsive to GABA.
Parkinson's disease involves monocytic alterations in the blood. The cells have reduced viability and are unresponsive to specific stimuli, which could have relevant consequences for the progression of Parkinson's. Immune modulation medications may be a new treatment option to inhibit neurodegeneration associated with PD.
Researchers pay tribute to Arvid Carlsson, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for his research into dopamine, and evaluate what his research means to modern neuroscience.
Dopamine cells derived from stem cells could reverse many features of Parkinson's disease for a number of years.
Researchers find high level of inflammation markers in the blood of people with depression. The research indicates persistent inflammation affects brain areas associated with the more stubborn symptoms of depression.
Researchers have uncovered what goes on in our brains when we are faced with the decision to take a risk or play it safe.
Drugs that increase signaling of Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) can help suppress the involuntary movements associated with dopamine replacement therapy for those with Parkinson's disease.
Researchers hope discovery will pave the way to developing new methods for earlier diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
Researchers report transplanted nerve cells can survive for a number of years and restore dopamine production in Parkinson's patients.
