A new mouse study reveals our sleep position may influence the glymphatic system and could increase the risk of developing ALS or other neurodegenerative diseases.
Researchers have developed a new biomarker that will enable a rapid and inexpensive test for Parkinson's disease.
Volume decreases in cortical areas, the amygdala, and basal forebrain in Parkinson's patients correlated with worsening symptoms of the disease.
A new computer model shows the beneficial effects of deep brain stimulation arise from how it interrupts the cycle promoting runway beta in a circuit loop between the subthalamic nucleus and striatum.
Study implicates the gene DJ1 in neuronal death associated with Parkinson's disease.
Researchers have designed a new method of converting non-neural cells into functioning neurons that are able to form synapses, dispense dopamine, and restore the function of neurons undermined by Parkinson's associated destruction of dopaminergic cells.
Study reveals a new mechanism that appears to reverse the build-up of protein aggregates by refolding them, rather than removing them.
A specific Parkinson's related gene could be a driver behind vocal production problems associated with the disease. The findings could lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease.
A new deep learning algorithm utilizes neuroimaging data to differentiate between Parkinson's disease and other parkinsonian syndromes such as PSP and multiple systems atrophy.
College football players are 5 times more likely to report cognitive impairment, 2.5 times more likely to experience recurrent headaches, and 65% more likely to have cardiovascular problems in their lifetime than their non-football playing peers. Additionally, mortality from brain and other nervous system cancers was 4 times higher in former college football players than the general population.
A newly developed probiotic bacteria that can synthesize the dopamine precursor L-DOPA is safe, well-tolerated, and eliminates the side effects associated with L-DOPA use for Parkinson's disease.
Combining AI and robotics technology, researchers have identified new cellular characteristics of Parkinson's disease in skin cell samples from patients.
