Scientists at a Nottingham university have made what they are calling a "crucial breakthrough" in treating dementia and Parkinson's disease.

Researchers at the University of Nottingham have genetically created Parkinson's disease and dementia in mice and then mapped their brains.

They now hope to develop more targeted drug treatments to treat the condition.

According to the Alzheimer's Society, about 700,000 people in the UK have a form of dementia.
