Default Study: Brain energy crisis may spark Parkinson's

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...110103412.html

But Scherzer issues a caution: The average Parkinson's patient has lost about 70 percent of his or her dopamine-producing neurons by the time of diagnosis. So if blocking a brain energy drain is going to do any good, scientists may have to find ways to spot brewing Parkinson's much earlier.

"I don't think you can turn back the clock," he says.
