Possible Advancement In Our Understanding Of Parkinson’s Disease Is Made Possible By The Genetic Riddle Involving Two Sisters
Possible Advancement In Our Understanding Of Parkinson’s Disease Is Made Possible By The Genetic Riddle Involving Two Sisters Researchers have disproved a long-held theory about the causes of Parkinson’s disease in a ground-breaking study that was published in the journal Neuron, putting new light on this crippling neurological disorder. Their findings suggest that one possible cause of Parkinson’s disease may be the dysfunction of synapses, the microscopic openings at which neurons can connect with one another. This information gives up exciting new opportunities for prospective treatments that may have a big positive effect on the lives of those who are afflicted by the condition. A neurological ailment called Parkinson’s disease, which affects 1% to 2% of the world’s population, is common. It is characterised by a variety of motor symptoms, such as slowness of movement, rigidity, and resting tremors. These symptoms are caused by the progressive death of dopaminergic neurons in the s...
