A Review on Applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Parkinsons’s Disease Diagnosis and Treatment and Its Future Challenges
Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a long-term, progressive neurodegenerative disorder that mainly occurs in people older than 60 years, affecting nearly 1% of this population. It is chiefly marked by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, a crucial brain region responsible for controlling motor functions. The resultant dopamine deficiency significantly disrupts motor control, manifesting in clinical symptoms such as tremors, bradykinesia, muscle rigidity, and postural instability. While PD …
