Methods of preventing or treating Parkinson's disease in subjects are described where drugs are administered to subjects in effective amounts to cause the farnesylation of PARIS and the enhanced expression of PGC-1α in the brain. These methods alleviate the effects of Parkinson's disease in subjects, in part, by preventing the loss of dopamine neurons.
