Story summary

A study in Aging-US reveals age-related amyloid positivity trends in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients without dementia, conducted by Tokyo Metropolitan Institute researchers analyzing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in 89 patients.
30.6% of older patients (73+) tested positive for amyloid, compared to 10% in younger patients, suggesting early screening is needed.
Neu Health is joining a U.S. incubator to enhance its smartphone app for tracking PD symptoms, monitoring cognitive and motor changes.
A new ultrasound helmet offers non-invasive treatment for neurological disorders, including PD, by modulating deep-brain circuits.
