Portal:The Science Behind Parkinson's/Section 1
This section is for those who are interested in following research into Parkinson's and thinking about what questions remain unanswered, what issues need to be resolved and what implications arise from research results.
You can browse through it and read some very interesting stuff.
But if you are interested in contributing, you can write accounts, especially of newly published research, explain issues and stimulate discussion.
All contributors are expected to provide references to back up what they say.
Wikiversity, like any university, has a research facilitation function with projects which actually conduct research. (See the Research Portal.)

Progress and Prospects in Parkinson's ResearcheditThe purpose of the material in section 1 is to :
The structure of articles should be designed to achieve these purposes. The style of the articles should make them accessible to readers who have a moderate level of scientific or biological understanding but who are not experts in the field. Technical terms should be explained in the text or hyperlinked to explanatory material such as in wikipedia or elsewhere.
