    titled "Low Doses of Cannabis Extract Ameliorate Non-Motor Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease Patients: A Case Series" fits well within the scope of Frontiers in Human Neuroscience because is focusing on neurodegenerative diseases, neurology, and clinical therapeutics. This study addresses a critical gap in the management of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD), including cognitive impairment, insomnia, and daytime sleepiness, through the use of cannabis extracts. Given the increasing interest in alternative treatments and the growing body of evidence supporting the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids, this research provides novel and significant insights that are relevant to both clinical and research communities within these fields. Selecting this journal and this special topic we are ensure that the manuscript will reach an audience that can appreciate its contributions to advancing PD treatment.
