It’s not just tremors in Parkinson's, we need to broaden our rehabilitation lens beyond balance and gait. We need rehabilitation strategies for sleep and autonomic symptoms like constipation, urinary and sexual dysfunction. We’ve long focused on movement, but what about the

Dopamine acts like a laser pointer and not a sprinkler. Dopamine isn’t just about pleasure or motion, it’s about precision coding at the cellular level. Maybe we should stop stereotyping dopamine as a simple splashy brain signal. An interesting new study in Science by Yee, Ford

Can specialized physical therapy help you to live longer with Parkinson’s? What if physical therapy did more than improve balance and reduce falls? A new Dutch study by Ypinga, Bloem and colleagues just dropped and the results are fascinating. Specialized physical therapy, like

What are the FDA approved drugs for non-motor and neuropsychiatric symptoms in Parkinson's? We need to do better and this needs to be part of the plan. pdplan.org Thanks Jen Goldman for updating us on this 'lack of progress.' Let's do better as people are counting on

Could gene therapy silence Parkinson’s progression? A study in primates just showed it may be possible. Steece-Collier and colleagues knocked it out of the park in their new paper in Molecular Therapy. The group studied aged macaques and demonstrated that targeting CaV1.3

We’re excited to announce that recruitment for the first multi-arm, multi-stage (MAMS) platform for Parkinson’s in the UK – EJS ACT-PD – is open. This project will continuously test new therapies that could impact Parkinson's progression: buff.ly/W7eqbec #ejsactpd
