Parkinson's disease does more than cause tremor and trouble walking. It can also affect sleep, smell, digestion and even thinking. That may be because the disease disrupts communication in a brain ...

For decades, Parkinson’s disease has been framed as a problem of a single patch of brain tissue that controls movement. New ...

Parkinson's disease does more than cause tremors and trouble walking. It can also affect sleep, smell, digestion and even thinking. NPR's Jon Hamilton reports on new research suggesting that's because ...

A new international study points to a specific brain network as the core driver of Parkinson’s disease. Scientists found that this network becomes overly connected, disrupting not just movement but ...

During the acquisition of correct rejection response, rankings of functional connection separated for cortical and subcortical regions, which is predictive of the peak timing of visual information ...

Scientists at UCSF combined advanced brain-network modeling, genetics, and imaging to reveal how tau protein travels through neural highways and how certain genes either accelerate its toxic journey ...

Over the past decade, intensive studies have shown that the brain's meningeal lymphatic system acts as the brain's "waste disposal network," maintaining homeostasis by clearing metabolic waste and ...
