## Abstract Recent imaging studies suggest a rapid degeneration of the dopaminergic system in early Parkinson's disease (PD), followed by a slowing of the degenerative process in advanced disease. In the present study, a group of earlyβstage PD patients underwent three sequential [^123^I]Ξ²βCIT SPEC

## Abstract Few prospective data on the clinical progression of Parkinson's disease (PD) in patient groups outside treatment trials in selected patients are available, and controversy exists on the rate of clinical disease progression with advancing disease. In this study, we investigated the rate
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of dopaminergic cells in the central nervous system, in particular the substantia nigra, resulting in an unrelenting loss of motor and nonmotor function. Animal models of Parkinson's disease reveal hyperactive neur
## Abstract Despite all recent advances in symptomatic therapy Parkinson's disease (PD) continues to be a relentlessly progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Therefore therapies that will slow or hold disease progression are a major medical unmet need in PD. Clinical measures of disease progressio
## Abstract Although the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) is widely used to monitor disease progression and drug efficacy, no attempts have been made to evaluate its scientific and clinical quality. Poor clinical sensibility of items in the activities of daily living (ADL) section a
