Tracking eye movements to diagnose Parkinson's Identifying and distinguishing Parkinson’s from other progressive brain disorders is difficult because there are no biological tests a doctor can administer to diagnose the illness.... Strengthening swallowing muscles to prevent choking and improve quality of life Eating and drinking without choking or aspirating food are among the pleasures of life denied to some people with Parkinson’s who have swallowing difficulties. The... Decoding a sleep disorder and Parkinson’s People who have a sleep disorder that causes them to act out their dreams are also at risk of developing Parkinson’s and two other progressive... Mathematical modelling to help diagnose and treat Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s are both progressive brain disorders that share some similar symptoms – and sometimes, people can have both diseases. That makes it hard... Longitudinal changes in the neurovascular response in a rat model of L-DOPA induced Dyskinesia One of the side effects of taking levodopa to relieve the symptoms of Parkinson’s is that, over time, most people taking the drug develop erratic,...

Unblocking barriers to gene therapy Delivering a new drug or agent that carries gene therapy directly to the areas of the brain affected by Parkinson’s is challenging. It’s made more... Understanding the molecular basis of α-synuclein strain interference Researchers have identified the protein implicated in the death of the brain cells that cause Parkinson’s: alpha-synuclein.
