A team from WEHI’s Parkinson’s Disease Research Centre has won the 2025 Eureka Prize for Scientific Research.

Overactivation of dopamine neurons may directly drive their death, explaining why movement-controlling brain cells degenerate in Parkinson’s. Mice with chronically stimulated neurons showed the same selective damage seen in patients, along with molecular stress responses. Targeting this overactivity could help slow disease progression.

Researchers have identified a neurochemical signature that sets Parkinson’s disease apart from essential tremor — two of the most common movement

Former FBI Director Robert Mueller, who led the investigation into Donald Trump over the ‘Russiagate’ scandal, has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The condition, which affects movement and the nervous system, can lead to symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with balance., Health, Times Now

Mueller, the former FBI director and special counsel, had been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee as part of an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

A major South Korean cohort study has suggested that mild-to-moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a lower risk of death in people living with Parkinson’s disease (PD). The findings, published in the Journal of Neural Transmission, indicate a potential protective role of drinking in disease progression.

University of Rochester computer scientists developed the AI-powered tool to detect voice changes, often an early sign of Parkinson’s.

Study maps clinical, genetic, and proteomic links between gut-brain disorders and neurodegeneration, showing how diabetes, vitamin D deficiency, and bowel disorders forecast Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s years in advance. Multimodal models in biobanks highlight early detection and personalized prevention opportunities.

A creative, including Hollie Spooner, took the D&AD New Blood award with an impactful campaign that shows rather than tells. Here, Hollie explains how a Parkinson’s diagnosis brief found new life.

The inclusivity of bowls has long been documented, as has the wonderful community the sport possesses. Right at Home Emerging Para Jackaroo Annette Ruffle and her husband Rob are doing exceptional work in that space with their club of Heathmont organising the second ‘Bowl Parkinson’s Over’ day on
