A team led by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has identified biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease in its earliest stages, before extensive brain damage occurs. The biological processes leave measurable traces in the blood, but only for a limited period. The discovery thus r...

How can we explain the onset of psychotic symptoms characteristic of schizophrenia? Despite their major and often irreversible impact on intellectual abilities and autonomy, the biological mechanisms that precede their emergence remain poorly understood. A team from the Department of Psychiatry at t...
