New evidence of gut-brain connection in Parkinson's disease
https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273(19)30488-X
An important and rigorous new animal study led by scientists at Johns Hopkins University has demonstrated how the misfolded proteins thought to cause Parkinson's disease may originate in the gut, and travel up to the brain via the vagus nerve. This research builds on a compelling body of evidence pointing to a gut-brain connection in the disease and hints at possible new treatment pathways.
