Requirements: .PDF reader, 1,5 MB
Overview: Few neurologic disorders have attracted more attention from the scientific com- munity than Parkinson’s disease (PD). Advances in basic research are now being translated into clinical practice. While the progress in the treatment of PD has been remarkable, the cause of this neurodegenerative disorder is still a mystery. In 1817, James Parkinson in his original ‘Essay on the Shaking Palsy’ first described the disorder that now bears his name and suggested that blood letting and iatrogenic pus forma- tion were the best treatments. Subse- quent discovery of dopamine deficiency in the brains of patients with PD and its therapeutic replacement with levodopa in the early 1960s heralded a new era in the treatment of this devastating dis- order.
