The largest epidemiological study of Parkinson's disease in the United States has found that the disease is more common in the Midwest and the Northeast and is twice as likely to strike whites and Hispanics as blacks and Asians.

Researchers have identified a protein that appears not only to be central to the process that causes Parkinson's disease but could also play a role in the high from methamphetamine and other addictive drugs.
The action of the protein, known...

According to research by neurologists, irregular arm swings while walking could be an early sign of Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease is an age-related disorder involving loss of certain types of brain cells and marked by impaired...

Researchers have discovered that a hormone produced in the stomach called ghrelin could be used to boost resistance to or even slow the development of Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease is caused by a degeneration of dopamine neurons...

Two studies to try to uncover genetic associations behind Parkinson's disease have found that people with certain gene mutations could have a higher risk of the disease.
Parkinson's disease, which affects about 1.5 million Americans, is a...
