On April 11th, every year, we commemorate Parkinson's Day.
Parkinson’s is a neurological condition which affects the brain’s ability to produce dopamine – the chemical which helps us control movement. It’s a type of progressive condition – meaning symptoms appear gradually and slowly get worse, as the brain becomes increasingly damaged over time.
At ACHUCARRO we have different groups and researchers interested in researching the causes of Parkinson’s, a complex disease, like all neurological diseases, and to which we take different approaches.
