Abstract

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a devastating late-life disease with mainly unknown causes. By the time of disease diagnosis, about 80% of substantial nigra dopaminergic neurons have already been diminished. The prevalence of the disease is constantly increasing worldwide. Here, I describe my study on PD patients prior to and following deep brain stimulation (DBS) neurosurgery treatment and an age- and gender-matched healthy control volunteer study for detection of RNA expression profile changes.
