Resumen
[ES]Este trabajo pretende realizar una revisión de los aspectos más significativos de la
asimetría cerebral y la enfermedad de Parkinson (EP), así como la relación entre ambos
temas. Aunque esta enfermedad está aún siendo investigada desde múltiples enfoques,
en la presente revisión se ha recopilado una amplia información sobre sus posibles
causas, síntomas, epidemiología, anatomía patológica, factores de riesgo, diagnóstico y
tratamiento. De modo particular, se tratará uno de los aspectos más importantes pero
menos estudiados de la EP, es decir, la trascendencia de la asimetría cerebral que
manifiestan éstos pacientes basándonos tanto en estudios realizados en animales como
en humanos.

Although this disease is still under research, it has been compiled extensive information about its possible causes, symptoms, epidemiology, pathology, risk factors, diagnosis and treatment. Particularly, one of the most important but less studied aspects of the disease, such as the significance of brain asymmetry exhibited by these patients, will be also discussed according to some studies in animals and humans.
