• Neurodegeneration and clinical status defining Parkinson’s disease

    Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by both motor and non-motor symptoms due to the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. Diagnosis primarily focuses on motor symptoms, yet non-motor aspects are crucial. Symptoms progress differently for each patient, complicating disease definition. New models are being developed to integrate various markers for improved understanding and treatment, highlighting the importance of early intervention amid rising prevalence.
