Led by Dr. Antony Lang, a neurologist, a senior scientist at Krembil Brain Institute and a professor at the University of Toronto Department of Medicine, the research team developed the new classification model to account for the biological determinants of Parkinson’s Disease. Although researchers have spent several decades developing more and more advanced means of testing for and diagnosing PD, most diagnostics methods rely on the presence of motor symptoms such…
