A new study shows artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of blood samples can predict and explain disease progression, which could one day help doctors choose more appropriate and effective treatments for patients.</p> Tue, 28 Jan 2020 14:39:25 +0000 webfull 157680 at /channels /channels/channels/news/towards-better-understanding-parkinsons-disease-287924 <p>A new study, published today in <a href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41594-018-0088-7">Nature Structural & Molecular Biology</a>, moves researchers closer to understanding one of the crucial proteins involved in Parkinson’s disease.</p> Tue, 03 Jul 2018 18:33:34 +0000 webfull 138823 at /channels /channels/news/everything-moderation-excessive-nerve-cell-pruning-leads-disease-230995 <p><i>Mechanism meant to maintain efficiency of brain network involved in neurodegenerative disease</i></p> Tue, 08 Oct 2013 13:59:41 +0000 webfull 99233 at /channels /channels/news/april-parkinson%E2%80%99s-disease-awareness-month-234391 <p>The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital - The Neuro, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University and the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University Health Centre, is at the forefront of Parkinson’s research and clinical care. Parkinson’s patients are seen at The Neuro’s Movement Disorders Clinic and the Montreal General Hospital.
