- Caffeine affects brain dopamine function in patients with Parkinson's diseaseon May 28, 2024 at 3:50 pm
Regular high caffeine consumption affects dopamine function in patients with Parkinson's disease, shows a new international study. Caffeine consumption before undergoing diagnostic brain dopamine imaging may also affect the imaging results.
- Researchers target neurogenesis in new approach to treat Parkinson's diseaseon April 30, 2024 at 2:55 pm
Researchers have found a way to better control the preclinical generation of key neurons depleted in Parkinson's disease, pointing toward a new approach for a disease with no cure and few effective treatments.
- Genetic variations may predispose people to Parkinson's disease following long-term pesticide exposure, study findson April 25, 2024 at 5:14 pm
A new study found certain genetic variants could help explain how long-term pesticide exposure could increase the risk of Parkinson's disease.
- Analyzing the progression in retinal thickness could predict cognitive progression in Parkinson's patientson April 19, 2024 at 5:05 pm
Although there are still some aspects pending confirmation for its use in the clinical setting, and its resolution needs to be improved slightly, a study has shown that a method routinely used to carry out ophthalmological tests can also be used to monitor the neurodegeneration that occurs in Parkinson's patients. In the course of the research it was found that the neurodegeneration of the retina probably precedes cognitive impairment.
- AI speeds up drug design for Parkinson's by ten-foldon April 17, 2024 at 5:10 pm
Researchers have used artificial intelligence techniques to massively accelerate the search for Parkinson's disease treatments. The researchers designed and used an AI-based strategy to identify compounds that block the clumping, or aggregation, of alpha-synuclein, the protein that characterises Parkinson's.
