About this Research Topic
This Research Topic is part of the 15-Year Anniversary of Frontiers in Neuroanatomy Research Topic series. These special collections have been organized in collaboration with the Neuroscience portfolio at Frontiers to celebrate the 15-Year Anniversary of the journal. The aim of this series is to highlight some of the most impactful research areas in the field. This specific collection will provide discussions around the latest advances in Parkinson's disease as well as new research on this important topic.
By following its mission to freely disseminate high-quality research with a worldwide reach, Frontiers in Neuroanatomy will continue to play a key role in accelerating the progress in neuroanatomy research and making Open Science a global reality.
This Research Topic article collection focuses on the recent advances in the research on Parkinson's disease, namely those related to knowledge of its origin, possible causes, genetic factors, disease progression, motor and non-motor symptoms, cognitive aspects, neuroanatomical pathways affected, neurochemical aspects, animal models, glial involvement and possible therapeutic perspectives, among others.
The Research Topic welcomes contributions from researchers around the globe in the form of Original Research, Review, Mini Review, and Perspectives focusing on, but not limited to the following subtopics:
· Neuroanatomical pathways
· Neurochemical changes
· Electrophysiological aspects
· Potential prevention strategies
· Genetics of the disease
· Microbiome, enteric system, and Parkinson's disease
· Potential therapeutic strategies
· Glia and Parkinson's disease
· Pre-clinical and clinical studies
· Cognitive impairments
· Parkinson's disease heterogeneity
