Alterations of circadian rhythms are among the most debilitating non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Although a growing awareness towards these symptoms has occurred during the last decade, their underlying neuropathophysiology remains poorly understood and consequently no effective therapeutic strategies are available to alleviate these problems. Recent studies have investigated multiple circadian rhythms at different stages of PD. The advances made have allowed an accurate evaluation of the affected underlying pathways and mechanisms. Here I dissect, over disease progression, the relative causal contribution to health impairments in PD patients of dysfunctions in the different components of the neural network governing circadian rhythms. A deeper understanding of these mechanisms will provide not only a greater understanding of disease neuropathology, but also hold the promise for effective therapies.
