A recent study in mice adds to the evidence suggesting that Parkinson's disease may actually start in the gut rather than the brain.
Ask any neurologist: Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder. The conspicuous symptoms of Parkinson's disease-;uncontrollable tremors, slowed down motions, and the feeling that one's feet are stuck to the ground-;all stem from the loss of neurons in a region of the brain that helps control movement.
New research has emerged built on the hypothesis that Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder, starts in the gut.
A large prospective study shows that RA is linked to a twofold increased risk for Parkinson's disease, in new findings that suggest motor symptoms in this population should be thoroughly investigated by a neurologist.
