The toxins could potentially be used as ‘markers’ for doctors to identify Parkinson’s patients at a higher risk of developing dementia. New research suggests that changes in the mouth and gut bacteria of Parkinson’s disease patients could signal an early worsening of their symptoms. Scientists, utilising artificial intelligence (AI), have linked these bacterial shifts to cognitive decline, including memory and learning problems, in individuals with the condition.
