Compensatory Mechanisms in Parkinson’s Disease

Don't miss this American Physiological Society webinar! Review compensatory mechanisms, including cerebral plasticity and behavioral adaptation, in people with Parkinson’s disease.

Key topics include:

• The clinical phenotype of Parkinson’s disease is shaped not just by neurodegeneration in the basal ganglia, but also by adaptive neuroplasticity taking place in other intact brain areas.
• People living with Parkinson’s disease show a remarkable ability to overcome motor and nonmotor deficits by developing a wide range of compensatory strategies.
• Recognizing these different types of compensatory strategies opens exciting new avenues for innovative therapies, both as symptomatic treatment for people with Parkinson’s disease, and perhaps also as a disease-modifying strategy.
