Researchers examine how Parkinson ’s disease alters brain activity over time

Neuroscientists peered into the brains of patients with Parkinson ’s disease and two similar conditions to see how their neural responses changed over time. The study, funded by the NIH’s Parkinson’s Disease Biomarkers Program and published today in Neurology, may provide a new tool for testing experimental medications aimed at alleviating symptoms and slowi ng the rate at which the diseases damage the brain.
