Weill Cornell researchers define three Parkinson’s subtypes with machine learning

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have used machine learning to define three subtypes of Parkinson’s disease based on the pace at which the disease progresses. In addition to having the potential to become an important diagnostic and prognostic tool, these subtypes are marked by distinct driver genes. If validated, these markers could also suggest ways […]

Researchers find a promising approach to remove amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease starts with a sticky protein called amyloid beta that builds up into plaques in the brain, setting off a chain of events that results in brain atrophy and cognitive decline. The new generation of Alzheimer’s drugs -; the first proven to change the course of the disease -; work by tagging amyloid for […]

Non-invasive brain stimulation can change specific brain mechanism linked to human behavior

For the first time, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities showed that non-invasive brain stimulation can change a specific brain mechanism that is directly related to human behavior. This is a major step forward for discovering new therapies to treat brain disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease. The study […]

Researchers introduce a pioneering approach to combat neurodegenerative diseases

Researchers led by Northwestern University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison have introduced a pioneering approach aimed at combating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In a new study, researchers discovered a new way to enhance the body’s antioxidant response, which is crucial for cellular protection against the oxidative stress […]

Landmark study confirms five key Parkinson’s Disease variants in largest meta-analysis

A recent Npj Parkinson’s Disease study analyzed rare Parkinson’s disease (PD) variants in a large-scale cohort. Study: Analysis of rare Parkinson’s disease variants in millions of people. Image Credit: Chinnapong/Shutterstock.com Background PD is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. The manifestation of this disease has been associated with a combination of factors, i.e., aging, […]

Soft, wearable robot helps a person with Parkinson’s to walk without freezing

Freezing is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that affects more than 9 million people worldwide. When individuals with Parkinson’s disease freeze, they suddenly lose the ability to move their feet, often mid-stride, resulting in a series of staccato stutter steps that get shorter until the person […]

Study upends common belief in what triggers Parkinson’s disease

A new Northwestern Medicine study challenges a common belief in what triggers Parkinson’s disease. Degeneration of dopaminergic neurons is widely accepted as the first event that leads to Parkinson’s. But the new study suggests that a dysfunction in the neuron’s synapses -; the tiny gap across which a neuron can send an impulse to another […]

Doctors must address Parkinson’s patients’ hidden burden of stigma, report says

Even the best treatment approaches for Parkinson’s disease are inadequate if they do not address patients’ feelings of social rejection, isolation, loneliness and other psychosocial effects of stigma, according to a report from experts specializing in Parkinson’s and other movement disorders. A new report co-authored by UCLA Health neurologist and researcher Dr. Indu Subramanian says […]
