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

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

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

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

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 ...

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