- Anxiety is a common non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease that can begin before noticeable motor symptoms, with a higher prevalence in females despite the disease being more common in males.
- A study used young adult mice with a specific mutation related to Parkinson's to investigate differences in stress-induced anxiety behaviors between male and female subjects, revealing no baseline differences in anxiety responses.
- Following chronic stress, male mice showed different responses compared to their wildtype counterparts but female mice exhibited similar anxiety reactions to stress regardless of mutation, highlighting a significant sex-specific difference in how the mutation affects stress-related anxiety behaviors.
