En febrero de 2026, la Parkinson Foundation (parkinson.org/recursos) presentó un webinar para personas recién diagnosticadas con la enfermedad de Parkinson y sus cuidadores.

This refers to the ability of cortical areas not directly damaged by Parkinson’s Disease (PD) to take over functions that dopamine-dependent circuits can no longer reliably perform. He also identified the two key brain regions involved in this compensation and what causes those regions to fail.

Gastrointestinal (GI) difficulties can be among the most bothersome of the non-motor symptoms caused by Parkinson’s disease (PD). Constipation, which involves the slowing down of the large intestine or lower gut is the most common of the GI symptoms, affecting 80-90% of people with PD.
