It sounds almost too good to be true. A cheap and easy to use eye test could detect Parkinson\u2019s before symptoms appear. Even better: early detection could improve the treatment.<\/em><\/p>\n

Parkinson’s disease is the world\u2019s second most common neurodegenerative disease. 1 in 500 people are suffering from it. Main symptoms are muscle stiffness, shacking of the hands and slowness of movement. It develops gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand.

In Parkinson’s disease, certain nerve cells (neurons) in the brain gradually break down or die. These certain nerve cells are responsible for the design, the development and the realization of movements. The loss of neurons results in a decreased dopamine level in the brain. Dopamine is a chemical messenger between nerve cells.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
