Less active brain waves may signal cognitive decline in Parkinson’s

People with Parkinson’s disease who are experiencing cognitive decline may show weaker low-frequency brain waves on an electroencephalogram (EEG), a recording of the brain’s electrical activity, according to a recent study. Brain waves recorded at the front part of the brain were linked to measures of cognitive decline and…

Distinct Brain Activity Patterns Captured by EEG May Help in Treating Parkinson’s, Study Suggests

Measuring the electric brain activity of people with Parkinson’s may be a non-invasive and accurate way of diagnosing the disease and monitoring response to treatment, a study suggests. The study, “Characteristics of Waveform Shape in Parkinson’s Disease Detected with Scalp Electroencephalography,” was published in the journal eNeuro. The…
