Abstract:
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases and affects 150 to 200 people per 100,000 population. Rapid advances have been made in the neurobiology of PD; this disorder is now recognized as a model of dysfunction in fronto-striatal circuits expressed by motor and behavioral symptoms. Several clinical and surgical strategies for the management of PD are discussed.
