A research team from the University of California, Irvine is the first to reveal that a molecule in the brain 鈥� ophthalmic acid 鈥� unexpectedly acts like a neurotransmitter similar to dopamine in regulating motor function, offering a new therapeutic target for Parkinson鈥檚 and other movement diseases.
Binghamton University, State University of New York Psychology Professor Christopher R. Bishop is part of a collaborative research team that recently received a four-year grant from The Department of Defense to investigate the underlying cause of neuropsychiatric symptoms in Parkinson鈥檚 disease.

Listening to people with Parkinson鈥檚 disease made an automatic speech recognizer 30% more accurate, according to initial findings from the Speech Accessibility Project. Speech recordings used in the study are freely available to organizations looking to improve their voice recognition devices.
Former NFL quarterback, Brett Favre announced this week he鈥檚 been diagnosed with Parkinson鈥檚 disease. He was diagnosed in January but announced it this week while testifying during a hearing on... ...
A groundbreaking study using a tiny roundworm could pave the way for new treatments for neurodegenerative disorders. Researchers have linked the worm gene swip-10 to copper regulation 鈥� a vital element for brain health found in everyday items like wiring and cookware. Understanding the roles of swip-10 and MBLAC1, a protein involved in processing cellular materials, could lead to the development of effective medications and opens new avenues for advancing brain disease treatments.
Wistar scientists have demonstrated the role of Parkin 鈥� a protein implicated in Parkinson's disease 鈥� in the body鈥檚 innate immune response to cancer.
People with rare genetic variants associated with Parkinson鈥檚 disease and other neurodegenerative disorders are at increased risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), according to new research presented at the 149th Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (ANA). The study is the first to find that rare variants linked to other neurodegenerative diseases are associated with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig鈥檚 disease. Researchers also found having these rare variants raises the risk of faster progression of ALS as well as shorter survival.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize the care of neurological diseases, from detecting tumors the human eye can鈥檛 see and using implantable devices to manage various conditions to crunching data from thousands of people with the same condition to guide the development of new treatments, according to neurologists and biomedical researchers speaking at the Presidential Symposium 鈥� Present and Future Applications of AI in Neurological Care and Research at the 149th Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (ANA).
A study led by researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) found the risk of developing Parkinson鈥檚 disease was 76 percent higher among those with a history of damage to the lining of their upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract than among those without.

Contrary to previous research, a new study of female participants finds no link between migraine and the risk of developing Parkinson鈥檚 disease. The study is published in the August 21, 2024, online issue of Neurology庐, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
At 69, Hoyt 鈥淐orky鈥� Ball knew something was wrong when his right hand began to tremble uncontrollably. His primary doctor ruled out Parkinson鈥檚, but the prescribed medication failed to alleviate his symptoms.
With the help of a tiny, transparent worm called Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers have identified novel players in dopamine signaling by taking advantage of a powerful platform generated via the Million Mutation Project for the rapid identification of mutant genes based on their functional impact.
Corewell Health鈩� and Michigan State University researchers are the first in the state to use de-identified electronic health records of more than 1.5 million patients to analyze incidence rates and risk factors of mild cognitive impairment, or MCI, in rural and urban areas in West Michigan.
There鈥檚 some good news for people with Parkinson鈥檚 disease: The risk of developing dementia may be lower than previously thought, or dementia may occur later in the course of the disease than previously reported, according to a study published in the August 7, 2024, online issue of Neurology庐, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota, have developed a new visual diagnostic technique that can be used to advance early detection for neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease and similar diseases that affect animals, including Chronic Wasting Disease in deer.
The movement disorder neurology and neurosurgery team at Vanderbilt University Medical Center is set to add focused ultrasound treatment (FUS) as a new tool in the treatment of essential tremor and Parkinson鈥檚 disease.
