Brain network discovery opens new path for Parkinson’s treatment
Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological disorder affecting more than 1 million people in the U.S. and more than 10 million globally, is characterized by debilitating symptoms such as tremors, movement difficulties, sleep disturbances and cognitive impairments.
Two centuries after its discovery, the second most frequent neurodegenerative disease, Parkinson, has no cure or known cause. The same is true of the first, Alzheimer's disease; and together they threaten an unprecedented health crisis because its incidence can double in the coming decades due to the aging population.Continue reading
Scientists May Have Found the True Source of Parkinson’s Disease
A newly identified brain network may be the real driver of Parkinson’s—and precisely targeting it just delivered a major boost in symptom relief. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects more than 1 million people in the United States and over 10 million worldwide. It causes a wide range of disabling symptoms, including [...]
Parkinson, the second most common neurodegenerative disease affecting some 160,000 people in Spain, continues to pose a major challenge for Medicine. Although...
The classic image of the parkinson is that of a person with tremor, stiffness and slowness. However, those who live with the disease know that, much earlier, it also manifests in sleep, bowel, mood, attention and initiative. A new work, led by researchers from China and the United States, proposes that all these symptoms share a common root: the alteration of the somato-cognitive network of action, or SCAN by its acronyms.Continue reading...
