Imaging advances to detect non-motor prodromal markers of Parkinson’s disease and explore therapeutic translation opportunities
摘要
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder marked by late-emerging motor symptoms, but early non-motor signs like hyposmia and REM sleep behavior disorder may precede diagnosis by years. Identifying non-motor biomarkers during this prodromal phase could predict phenoconversion and enable early interventions. This narrative review outlines key prodromal non-motor symptoms, summarizes imaging technologies for early detection, and explores their translational potential in guiding timely, neuroprotective therapies for at-risk individuals.
