## Abstract The clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) appear late and only when the degenerative process at the level of the nigrostriatal dopamine (DA) pathway is quite advanced. An increase in brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression may be one of the molecular signals associat
