Nerve cells in the brain that are responsible for processing smells and sight show deficits in Parkinson’s disease, according to research done in a mouse model. The findings may lay the groundwork for new approaches to diagnose Parkinson’s, according to scientists. “I think this work is a nice first…

The olfactory bulb is significantly smaller in Parkinson’s disease patients compared to healthy individuals, a new study found, providing an anatomical explanation for the loss of the sense of smell in the early stages of the disease. The discovery, “A ventral glomerular deficit…

If you’ve been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease then your doctor will use a rating scale to establish the stage of your disease and to track the progression. The rating scale will assess motor symptoms such as movement and tremors, as well as non-motor symptoms such as loss of smell. There are five…
