Summary
This study tested whether a brain scan (fMRI) can detect early signs of Parkinson's disease by measuring how a small brain area called the superior colliculus responds to light. Researchers compared newly diagnosed Parkinson's patients (not yet on medication) with healthy volunteers. The goal is to find a new way to diagnose Parkinson's earlier, before symptoms become severe.
