#ARC vibrating pen steadies the ship for people with Parkinson's disease The development of tight, cramped cursive as a result of degenerating motor control is a common symptom of Parkinson's disease.

Known as micrographia, this condition can often lead people to put down their pens forever, but a team of British engineers say there might yet be hope for sufferer's of this dispiriting ailment.

Its early symptoms can be mistaken for those of Parkinson's disease, and include movement and balance problems,

As in Parkinson's disease, neurodegeneration in MSA is accompanied by a buildup of clumps of alpha-synuclein protein within brain cells.

For instance, MSA is diagnosed frequently initially as Parkinson's disease, which is treated often with deep-brain stimulation. The disease could potentially be transmitted to other patients

#Gene could hold key to treating Parkinson's disease Researchers at King's college London have identified a new gene linked to nerve function,

which could provide a treatment target for'switching off'the gene in people with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease affects approximately 7-10 million people worldwide and is characterized by progressive loss of motor function, psychiatric symptoms and cognitive impairment.

Olfactory loss is often an early symptom in a variety of neurological disorders including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

These mutations cause more than 200 diseases and contribute to others such as diabetes cancer Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

#Disputed theory on Parkinsons origin strengthened Parkinson's disease is linked strongly to the degeneration of the brain's movement center.

The experiment shows how the toxic protein alpha-synuclein is transported from one cell to another before ultimately reaching the brain's movement center giving rise to the characteristic movement disorders in Parkinson's disease.

Disruptions of the neuron train system also contribute to neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS.

but electrical devices are used also to control Parkinson s disease and experimentally some psychiatric conditions (see Brain Pacemakers

Other applications could be in better understanding neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, or to produce retinal neural cells for patients with age-related macular degeneration.'

Parkinson's disease May Begin In The Gut, Aarhus University Study A major epidemiological registry-based study from Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital indicates that Parkinson's disease begins in the gastrointestinal tract.

The study is the largest in the field so far. The chronic neurodegenerative Parkinson disease affects an increasing number of people.

However, scientists still do not know why some people develop Parkinson's disease. Now researchers from Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital have taken an important step towards a better understanding of the disease.

New research indicates that Parkinson's disease may begin in the gastrointestinal tract and spread through the vagus nerve to the brain."

then these vagotomy patients should naturally be protected against developing Parkinson's disease, "explains postdoc at Aarhus University Elisabeth Svensson on the hypothesis behind the study.

"Our study shows that patients who have had the the entire vagus nerve severed were protected against Parkinson's disease.

The first clinical examination The research has presented strong evidence that Parkinson's disease begins in the gastrointestinal tract and spreads via the vagus nerve to the brain.

"Patients with Parkinson's disease are constipated often many years before they receive the diagnosis, which may be an early marker of the link between neurologic

In the future the researchers expect to be able to use the new knowledge to identify risk factors for Parkinson's disease

"Now that we have found an association between the vagus nerve and the development of Parkinson's disease, it is important to carry out research into the factors that may trigger this neurological degeneration,

Facts Parkinson's disease is a chronic and neurodegenerative disease which affects approx. 1 out of every 1, 000 people.

#Single protein causes Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy Typical of neurodegenerative disorders is disrupted the communication between brain cells together with a loss of cells in specific brain regions.

However, in the case of specific diseases, including Parkinson's disease, Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), this protein forms aggregates that cause neurodegeneration."

Mesencephalic dopaminergic (mda) neurons and their connections to other neurons in the brain are believed to be related to disorders including drug abuse, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease,
