While gut microbes may be associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease, gut fungi are not, a new study reports. The study refutes the speculation gut anti-fungal treatments are helpful for Parkinson's patients. Read More
A simple vision test can predict whether a person with Parkinson's disease will develop cognitive decline or dementia within 18 months. Read More
People diagnosed with schizophrenia have an increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease later in life, researchers report. The reason could be due to alterations in the brain's dopamine system cause as a result of dopamine receptor antagonists or neurophysiological changes associated with schizophrenia itself. Read More
Close adherence to the MIND and Mediterranean diets delayed the onset of Parkinson's disease by up to 17.4 years in women, and 8.4 years in men. Read More
Non-invasive focused ultrasound appears to be beneficial in the treatment of Parkinson's disease for patients whose symptoms are poorly controlled by traditional medications. Read More
Researchers have created an artificial enzyme that stops alpha-synuclein from spreading. The findings could have positive implications for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Read More
New studies are set to explore how gene expression alters the brain's response to drug abuse, and to screen for genes that could help brain cells withstand Parkinson's disease. Read More
Genetically modified tomatoes enriched with L-DOPA may become a new and more affordable source for the essential Parkinson's disease drug. Read More
Artificial intelligence technology can identify early signatures of Parkinson's disease based on images of the retina vasculature taken from a simple eye test. Read More
At the cellular levels, neurodegeneration associated with diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's occurs in two different phases by different activities of protein signaling pathways that regulate cell function. Read More
People with Parkinson's disease who have less social interaction are at greater risk for developing more severe symptoms of the disease than those who are less lonely. Read More
