Dopamine doesn’t flood the brain as once believed – it fires in exact, ultra-fast bursts that target specific neurons. The ...

A team of neuroscientists in Australia has found that restoring copper levels in the brain dramatically reduced Parkinson-like damage in mice. The approach restored a protein’s function, and the same ...

The findings of two recent studies give hope that the disease could one day be reversed in humans—but experts warn that this ...

Stanford researchers discovered that dialing down an overactive enzyme, LRRK2, can regrow lost cellular “antennae” in key ...

It is also important for motor function, and when it disappears from some regions of the brain, it can cause Parkinson’s disease. That is why levodopa, which our body metabolizes to make dopamine, is ...

A University of Colorado study has revealed that dopamine communicates with precise, targeted signals rather than flooding ...

The results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.

New research shows that inhibiting overactive LRRK2 enzymes could stabilize Parkinson's disease progression, with Stanford ...

New research has overturned decades of belief about how dopamine communicates in the brain, showing it acts with pinpoint precision rather than broad diffusion.

New research has suggested that a virus that has typically been thought of as common and harmless may actually be associnrwd with an in creased risk of Par | Cell And Molecular Biology ...

A breakthrough brain scan shows Parkinson’s drugs can misfire in the brain, helping some patients less than others. The fix?
