Graduate student Johanna O'Day has started an effort that helps Parkinson's patients tell their story and connects researchers and patients.
Genetic mutations affecting a single gene called LRRK2 play an outsized role in Parkinson's disease, but nobody's been able to say what the connection is between the genetic defect and the brain-cell die-off that characterizes the condition. Here's a clue.
Stanford researchers set out to test a seminal theory of Parkinson’s disease and several related conditions. What they found is more complex than anyone had imagined.
New research suggests that targeting mitochondria could be a way to treat Parkinson's disease.
The healing powers of belief and faith have long been known. But it's taken scientists many years to start to understand some of the biochemical …
Parkinson's disease, the second-leading neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease, affects one in every 60-70 Americans age 65 or older. While the vast majority of all …
