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 ...

These findings highlight the significance of rearing behavior and behavioral lateralization as potential behavioral markers ...

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

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

By shutting down a hyperactive enzyme, scientists got damaged brain cells to regrow their lost “antennae” and restart ...

Researchers are using an advanced brain imaging method called MEG to understand why Parkinson’s drug levodopa doesn’t work ...

Most Parkinson's symptoms stem from the loss or dysfunction of dopamine-producing neurons in a brain region involved in fine ...

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

These indicators, known as ‘biomarkers’ – which include proteins, chemicals and other molecules that indicate normal or abnormal processes in the body – are becoming an increasingly powerful tool in ...

The earliest known signs of Parkinson’s can include pain, anxiety, balance issues, stiffness, loss of smell, sleep problems ...

In a healthy brain, communications are relayed back and forth between dopamine neurons in two regions of the brain known as the striatum and the substantia nigra.
