Understanding Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and is associated with an array of motor and non-motor symptoms. This animation focuses on how neurons may become dysfunctional and die in Parkinson’s, and how the underlying pathology may develop. It also touches on current treatments and potential therapeutic strategies for the disease. This animation from Nature Reviews Neuroscience and Nature Neuroscience is freely available online thanks to support from Roche. This Nature Video is editorially independent. It is produced with third party financial support. Read more about Supported Content here: https://partnerships.nature.com/commercial-content-at-nature-research/
