Parkinson’s disease researchers to study brain circuits driving symptoms
Northwestern University scientists received awards for Parkinson’s disease (PD) research from the ASAP Collaborative Research Network, a program of the Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) initiative implemented with partner The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
Does Parkinson’s Start in the Nose?
A majority of Parkinson's patients report a diminished sense of smell before the onset of other symptoms. Researchers who received an ASAP award are exploring whether scent-processing neurons may play a role in PD development.
