The treatment is called ‘expiratory muscle strength training’; it is an exercise program targeting the muscles used when you swallow or cough.
Flavonoids are a compound found in many foods that are shown to reduce inflammation and slow cell damage.
A growing body of research points to the body’s natural cannabinoid system as the primary driver behind the runner’s high – and the mental health boost and stress relief following exercise.
Neurologic music therapy aims to help patients manage symptoms and function better in daily life.
Pollution from more frequent floods and wildfires – exacerbated by the warming climate – is threatening human health and poses particular risks to the brain.
Parkinson’s results from the deterioration of neurons in part of the brain called the basal ganglia.
Our study found lower levels of one type of immune cell – which may even be seen years before a person develops the disease.
Proprioception is the sense that allows us to rapidly know without looking where each part of our body is.
Neurotrophic factors play an important role in protecting neurons – which is why researchers are investigating them as a treatment for Parkinson’s.
Our gut microbes play a key role in sending and receiving signals that influence the brain.
Parkinson’s disease may be diagnosed by looking for subtle changes in eye movements and thinning of retina layers.
A new tool for seeing hotspots in the brain could help doctors detect neurological disorders.
Ozzy Osbourne, famous for biting heads off bats, heavy metal music and a reality TV show, announced he has Parkinson’s disease. A Parkinson’s specialist explains the disease and recent advances.
High prescription drug costs are a widespread concern for consumers and policymakers. For patients who need specialty drugs, though, the problem is even worse, with no relief in sight.
From dementia to depression to drug addiction, artificial brain stimulation has been hailed as a landmark medical technology for the future. But safeguards are needed if we want the benefits without the risks.
About one in six people who take the most common medication for Parkinson’s disease will develop addictive behaviours. We found whether this happens depends on a person’s unique brain structure.
Researchers are looking for ways to determine who’s most at risk for dementia and also ways to detect it early. A scientist who has studied low blood pressure makes a case for a link between the two.
When people lose their speech, they can stop working and friends can drift away. Here’s what we can do to help them get the rehabilitation they need.
Parkinson’s disease is twice as common in men than in women. A sex gene called SRY, found only in men, could go some way to explaining this – and might pave the way for potential treatments.
