Researchers at the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute (NRI) at Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine recently made an important advance in neurodegenerative disease research and modeling. They created a mouse model that recapitulates the early non-motor symptoms as well as the motor difficulties in Parkinson’s disease in a manner that directly mimics the condition in many patients.
