While sleeping safely in bed, for example, they might throw up their arms to catch an imaginary ball, or try to run from an illusory assailant. Such actions are more than just a nuisance. People with the disorder have a 50 to 80 per cent chance of developing a serious neurodegenerative disease within a decade of diagnosis.</p> Tue, 05 Oct 2021 15:09:20 +0000 webfull 173696 at /channels /channels/channels/news/carriers-higher-risk-developing-neurodegenerative-disease-290308 <p>A team of Canadian scientists, including researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro), has discovered the first French-Canadian founder mutation gene linked to synucleinopathies, a group of neurodegenerative diseases that includes Parkinson鈥檚 disease (PD), dementia with Lewy-Bodies (DLB) and multiple system atrophy (MSA).</p> Tue, 02 Oct 2018 20:34:50 +0000 webfull 141628 at /channels /channels/channels/news/disease-causing-mutation-found-french-canadians-290040 <p><strong>Carriers at higher risk of developing neurodegenerative disease </strong></p> <p>A team of Canadian scientists, including researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro) has discovered the first French-Canadian founder mutation gene linked to synucleinopathies, a group of neurodegenerative diseases that includes Parkinson鈥檚 disease (PD), dementia with Lewy-Bodies (DLB) and multiple system atrophy (MSA).</p> Mon, 01 Oct 2018 14:04:45 +0000 webfull 141552 at /channels /channels/news/new-path-discovery-parkinson%E2%80%99s-disease-261519 <p><em><b>黑料不打烊 Newsroom</b></em></p> <p><em>Neuron cell death may be caused by overactive immune system聽</em></p> <p>A team of scientists led by Dr. Michel Desjardins from the University of Montreal and Dr. Heidi McBride from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (MNI) at 黑料不打烊 University have discovered that two genes associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) are key regulators of the immune system, providing direct evidence linking Parkinson's to autoimmune disease.</p> Tue, 28 Jun 2016 15:01:51 +0000 webfull 119633 at /channels
