16. Cognitive and motor dysfunction in the early phase of Parkinson's disease
Abstract : Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disease. The diagnosis is based on a combination of the motor signs: tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity and postural abnormalities. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is common early in the disease and a large proportion of patients with PD develop dementia (PDD). READ MORE

17. Emerging pharmacotherapies for Parkinson's Disease: Experimental studies in the rat
Abstract : Parkinson´s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the typical motor symptoms, akinesia/bradykinesia, rigidity and resting tremor. These symptoms are caused by a deficiency of dopamine (DA) in the brain, which depends on degeneration of DA neurons in the substantia nigra. READ MORE
