Brain size links neurodevelopment to neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease

Genetic studies have advanced our understanding of Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis, establishing a role for autophagy and lysosomal dysfunction. However, how genetic risk translates into neurona...

Why does your brain shrink in Parkinson’s? Word shrink in this case refers to measurable loss of brain tissue (atrophy), which reflects thinning of cortex/loss of volume in key brain regions. New paper shows widespread atrophy following brain’s wiring diagram and local biological vulnerabilities.

New preprint. @ndrewvo.bsky.social‬ and @enigmabrains.bsky.social‬ analyzed MRI of > 3,000 people with Parkinson’s disease. W-score method to compare PD to matched controls confirmed extensive loss of cortical thickness, surface area and subcortical volumes in PD, even in early stages
