Scientists Discover Brain Pathway That May Slow Parkinson’s Disease – but Only in Women

Wait 5 sec.

A newly identified protective brain pathway may help preserve vulnerable neurons in Parkinson’s disease. Scientists have identified a brain pathway that could help slow Parkinson’s disease by protecting the brain’s dopamine-producing neurons. However, the benefit was seen only in females. In a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers found that increasing the activity [...]
