Today is #WorldParkinsonsDay, where we recognize the more than 1 million Americans living with Parkinson’s disease and their loved ones who provide vital support. In Congress, I am committed to passing the policies we need to advance Parkinson’s research and improve care.
Today is #WorldParkinsonsDay, a time to raise awareness and support for the millions of people living with Parkinson's worldwide. Explore our free patient education resources to learn more about the latest progress in cell and gene therapy for Parkinson's disease: https://bit.ly/3Q6fa9C

#UniteForParkinsons
In honor of #WorldParkinsonsDay, let's acknowledge James Parkinson — the first person to document "paralysis agitans," now known as Parkinson's disease, within his work "An Essay on the Shaking Palsy."
This is such an excellent campaign - well done to everyone involved! #WorldParkinsonsDay
Before #Parkinsons symptoms appear, changes may already be happening at the molecular level.
In the Halfmann Lab, researchers use #AI to study when proteins first begin to cluster—early signals that could reveal how #neurodegenerative disease begins. #WorldParkinsonsDay

#PCBCommunity |🧠On #WorldParkinsonsDay, we highlight research driven by one of the most disruptive #medtech companies reshaping the treatment of this condition. 📰Carolina Aguilar, CEO of #INBRAINNeuroelectronics, explains how advances in #neurotechnology are leading to a new generation of therapies.
This week, we’re honored to host Mark Colo, Chairman of our Patient Advisory Committee.
On #WorldParkinsonsDay, moments like this are especially meaningful.
We’re deeply grateful to Mark and the #Parkinsons community. Their voices shape our path toward a better future for PD care.
Did you know there are more than 10 million people living with Parkinson's disease globally & that number is growing?
This #WorldParkinsonsDay, #LACountyAD is raising #ParkinsonsAwareness & efforts to help those living with it.

Stanley Fahn and C. David Marsden were some of the earliest advocates of Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. They were both pivotal leaders and visionaries in the science and care of PD and founded MDS in 1985.

In honor of #worldparkinsonsday, lets acknowledge some of the researchers and clinicians who have advanced our understanding of PD.
Linked dopamine deficiency to Parkinson’s disease and was influential in creating the first L-dopa clinical trials.
Neuroimaging findings in neurodegenerative disorders are often complex, as imaging findings in patients with mild signs and symptoms are frequently subtle and ambiguous. In many cases, by the time imaging findings become obvious, patients have already manifested clinically, and the diagnosis is already established or at least highly suspected. The radiation-free PCASL-MRI approach helps, based on the perfusion profile, to achieve an early and accurate diagnosis prior to gross morphological alterations when standardized with PET in simultaneous PET-MRI acquisitions. PCASL and PET changes preceded structural atrophy patterns and could aid in establishing early clinical diagnosis. The combination of PET and PCASL boosted the sensitivity of structural MRI and PET by synergistically diagnosing disease conditions. The synergistic effect of PCASL and FDOPA boosted the sensitivity and specificity in classifying disorders with dopaminergic deficit into IPD/APD phenotypes without the need for additional FDG PET or D2-receptor imaging. The authors highlight the role of simultaneous PCASL PET-MRI in the workup of complex neurodegenerative conditions with FDG in centers that do not have a cyclotron facility for producing non-FDG tracers. In clear-cut clinical neurodegenerative disorders, where structural changes are equivocal, an additional PCASL sequence can help in early diagnosis without the need for PET studies.
On #WorldParkinsonsDay, I'd like to highlight “ASL as a Potential Biomarker in Imaging of #Neurodegenerative Disorders” by Prof. Sandhya Mangalore, et al. (Nat. Inst. of Mental Health and Neurosciences, India).
