Abstract

The Parkinson’s Disease Neuroimaging Progression Initiative (PDPNIP) is a collaborative research project aimed at advancing the understanding of Parkinson’s disease through the utilization of neuroimaging techniques. The initiative focuses on developing neuroimaging biomarkers for early detection and accurate diagnosis, tracking disease progression, exploring subtypes and variability, and uncovering the neurobiological mechanisms underlying Parkinson’s disease. By analyzing imaging data from individuals with Parkinson’s disease and healthy controls, PDPNIP aims to improve diagnostic capabilities, personalize treatment approaches, and identify potential therapeutic targets. The collaborative efforts of scientists, clinicians, and institutions worldwide contribute to the progress of Parkinson’s disease research and hold promise for enhancing patient care.
