Brain Stimulation Timing May Shape Memory Outcomes in Parkinson's Patients with GBA1 Mutations
Researchers found deep brain stimulation preserved cognition in GBA1 Parkinson’s patients when performed within 7 to 8 years of diagnosis, based on data from 343 patients.
The timing of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery is a critical factor in preserving cognitive function for Parkinson's disease patients with a specific genetic mutation, according to a new study by an international team of researchers.
