Resumen
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.
This work is a review of the most important aspects about cerebral asymmetry and Parkinson’s disease (PD), as well as the relationship between both issues. 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.
