Scientists have made a ‘vital step’ towards understanding the origins of Parkinson’s disease – the fastest growing neurological condition in the world.

For the first time, neuroscientists were able to observe how individual neurons paint a rich and detailed representation of others’ beliefs, including whether they were true or not.

Researchers have identified the driving force behind a cellular process linked to neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s and motor neurone disease.

Scientists have found a way to create the Parkinson's drug L-DOPA and the amino acid proline out of garbage materials.

A new wireless chip tested in rats could pave the way for advances in our understanding of how the brain works, researchers say.

Using a method originally developed to detect mad cow disease, researchers discovered that a simple skin test can accurately identify Parkinson's disease.

Emily Balskus has won the Alan T. Waterman Award, the National Science Foundation's most prestigious prize for scientists under 40 in the United States.

Researchers have used deep brain stimulation with light on rats to alleviate symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Cognitive behavioral therapy can help treat depression and anxiety in people with Parkinson's disease. That can slow decline, too.

Understanding more about how a system that protects brain cells affects sleep could reveal a connection between sleep disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.
