Parkinson’s Drug Could Aid Mental Health Decline
The popular medication for those diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease could help age-related mental declines in older patients, according to a new discovery, which could help improve their ability to make decisions. A study carried out by the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging helped researchers realised that the drug increases the levels of dopamine in the brains of Parkinson’s patients, which helped them to make better decisions through improving the area of the brain which is responsible for judgement and learning. This could provide a better insight into age-related health concerns to help treatment.
