  • Parkinson's disease is caused by damage to certain nerve cells (neurons) in the part of the brain called the substantia nigra (SN), which helps control movement and other brain areas. (nyp.org)
  • Unlike its counterpart, white matter appears to be less affected than gray matter in diseases such as Parkinson's, and as such overlooked in disease-related brain research. (parkinsonsnewstoday.com)
  • This can create lesions in your brain that cause Parkinson's disease. (webmd.com)
  • The use of stem cell-derived dopamine neurons or deep brain stimulation (DBS) represents two alternative approaches to treat Parkinson's Disease. (lu.se)
  • Neuropsychiatric aspects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD) was the topic of several reports presented at the Congress. (medscape.com)
  • Brain Foundation also works to increase knowledge about the brain and its diseases, injuries and disabilities in the general public through information, seminars and lectures. (lu.se)
  • Whether these microbial changes are a cause or consequence of the disease process is unclear, although a study in mice colonized with human microbes suggested both may be true: PD somehow alters the composition of the intestinal flora, which in turn accelerates pathology (see Dec 2016 news ).

  • Other changes occur in the brains of people with Parkinson's disease, but it is unclear why they occur. (nyp.org)
  • Still, as Parkinson's disease typically affects older people, some of the issues experienced by people with Parkinson's disease may not be directly associated with the disease. (nyp.org)
  • According to the Global Burden of Disease study, which I was fortunate to be part of, the number of people with Parkinson's disease has more than doubled in the past 25 years. (medscape.com)

  • patients worldwide in 2017 are estimated to be affected by Parkinson's disease. (lundbeck.com)
  • To find out if these biomarkers could help doctors distinguish Parkinson's from atypical parkinsonism, researchers looked at MRI scans of 81 patients from two previous prospective studies ( NCT00465790 and NCT01085253 ), both run in France. (parkinsonsnewstoday.com)
