Parkinson’s is not inevitable, it’s preventable. In a new Oprah Daily feature on the just released book, The Parkinson’s Plan, Dr. Ray Dorsey and I explain how decades of research point to toxic chemicals like paraquat, trichloroethylene and air pollution as major drivers of this disease. With 1.1 million Americans already affected, we outline a bold plan: ban the worst offenders, invest $3 billion in prevention and treatment research, and empower families with everyday tools from filtering water to reducing pesticide exposure; all can potentially lower risk. Parkinson’s is the world’s fastest growing neurodegenerative brain disease, but with knowledge, action and a plan, we can make it a disease of the past. Check out the plan https://t.co/e9eKnkGsxz

Delighted to share our review in Nature Reviews Neuroscience!
We examine growing evidence that vascular dysfunction contributes to cognitive decline in ageing and dementia, and argue that preserving/restoring CBF should be central to future therapies.

Behind every Parkinson’s disease diagnosis is a person navigating uncertainty with strength. On #WorldParkinsonsDay, we at #UDel stand with those living with Parkinson’s and those working toward better understanding and care. 🌷

How does the brain work?

Scientists are closer to the answer with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. 🧵

Join our brain imaging study at #UDel! We’re exploring how Parkinson’s disease affects bimanual hand movements, both alone and while multitasking. 🧠 We seek participants with and without PD from Delaware or the greater Philadelphia area. #ParkinsonsResearch #DelawareResearch

[MDS @movedisorder]

Is familial Parkinson’s disease, as opposed to sporadic PD, more common than we think? Does fPD affect age of onset and symptom prevalence? Learn what this cross-sectional study of more than 2,000 patients in Italy found. @MDCP_Journal https://t.co/ChC2l3tZZf

Access to care is vital, no matter where you live. On #RuralHealthDay, we’re raising awareness for people with Parkinson’s disease who live in rural areas. Out of the 660 movement disorder specialists in the United States, less than 10 currently practice in rural areas.

We’re working to bridge this gap with community grants, virtual programs & services, and health professional training. If you or a loved one are looking for care near you, know you can contact our free PD Helpline to chat with our Parkinson’s Specialists: 1-800-4PD-INFO (473-4636) | [email protected] | https://t.co/dr8GwrRrSX
