Progress and Prospects in Parkinson's Research

This is Section 1 of The science behind Parkinson's disease - a Wikiversity learning project. Site map This Section is for those who are interested in following research into Parkinson's and thinking about what questions remain unanswered, what issues need to be resolved and what implications arise from research results.

Below are topics which contributors wish to bring to the attention of others.

But there is also a 'Magazine Section' dealing with articles to enable readers to get an overview of the current 'Hot Topics' and read discussions of key issues. These articles will link to the main body of the learning project.

Purpose of Section 1: To enable contributors:
 * to highlight interesting topics in current Parkinson's research
 * to explain their significance and background
 * to describe the questions answered and identify the questions still unanswered
 * to say how the work fits into the bigger picture and what other researchers are doing
 * to examine hypotheses and to raise implications
 * to identify possible new lines of enquiry and new implications for research strategy
