Talk:Causes of Parkinson's disease

please fix this page, whoever wrote it is NOT knowledgeable about parkinsons.

there are very clear cause effect examples of toxins that cause Parkinson's.  MTPT i believe is one.

Too technical
I believe this article is too technical for most people to understand it. It is full of jargon that only the medically qualified could be expected to understand. If it is to appear on a public encyclopedia it should be accessible to most folk. At least a glossary is called for and much more work is needed on the refs. A ref to a website which then requires some membership to go further is useless to most people and I think these kinds of refs should be deleted. I will put the tag into the article asap.

Incorrect bracket
There is an open bracket on the third line of the second paragraph in genetic factors. The surrounding text is too technical for me and I can't figure out where the close bracket goes

DM: "Parkinsons's may start in the gut and not the brain"
That is the title of a side box (actually a middle or center box), of another article at: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4186400/Experts-two-mechanism-involved-making-decisions.html

Medical people interested in PD should look up the original study in Cell.

Sure it's one study and sure the Cell article is a primary source, so it's not suitable at this time for inclusion in the Wiki page. But PD sucks and I am old enough to remember when they thought most stomach ulcers were caused by stress and/or stomach acid, not a bacterium.

The editors on this and the main PD Wiki page should know about and watch this new area of PD research.

Effects of air pollution
This Wikipedia article doesn't mention air pollution as a risk factor for Parkinson's disease. Have any other studies found a correlation like this? Jarble (talk) 21:11, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
