PMD Alliance Social Distancing Series: Brain Fables

In collaboration with movement disorder neurologist Indu Subramanian, MD, PMD Alliance presents a special series of online programs designed to keep you connected, social, and positive during these uncertain times.  Join us to learn something new, and stay in touch – in real time – with a community of experts and allies.

Brain Fables authors Dr. Alberto and Espay and PD Avenger Benjamin Stecher will be interviewed.

An estimated 80 million people live with a neurodegenerative disease, with this number expected to double by 2050. Despite decades of research and billions in funding, there are no medications that can slow, much less stop, the progress of these diseases. The time to rethink degenerative brain disorders has come. With no biological boundaries between neurodegenerative diseases, illnesses such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's result from a large spectrum of biological abnormalities, hampering effective treatment. Acclaimed neurologist Dr Alberto Espay and Parkinson's advocate Benjamin Stecher present compelling evidence that these diseases should be targeted according to genetic and molecular signatures rather than clinical diagnoses. There is no Parkinson's or Alzheimer's, simply people with Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. An incredibly important story never before told, Brain Fables is a wakeup call to the scientific community and society, explaining why we have no effective disease-modifying treatments, and how we can get back on track.
