    A Conversation on Parkinson’s-Related Hallucinations and Delusions (Webinar Audio) Sep 25, 2024

    Parkinson’s disease brings with it many potential symptoms, including hallucinations (seeing things that are not there) and delusions (believing things that are not true). Not everyone will experience these symptoms and not everyone who does will find them bothersome, but it can be a source of uncertainty and concern for people living with the disease. In audio from this Third Thursdays Webinar, our expert panel discusses navigating life with these symptoms and medication and non-medication strategies to manage them.

    Building on the Biomarker Breakthrough: What We’re Working on Now Jul 10, 2024

    Just over a year ago, there was a major breakthrough in Parkinson’s disease (PD) research – a tool that could detect abnormal alpha-synuclein protein in the spinal fluid of people living with PD even before onset of symptoms. This discovery is already impacting the ways scientists conduct and think about Parkinson’s research. Tune into this episode of our award-winning “Parkinson’s Science POV” series to learn how researchers are using the test to better understand disease biology and what the future holds.

    Everyday Exposures to Parkinson’s: Environmental Connections to the Disease (Webinar Audio) Mar 27, 2024

    The biology behind what causes Parkinson’s is complex, with only about a quarter of cases with clear genetic drivers. The environment – where you live, the air you breathe, the food you eat, the world around you – plays a key role in PD. Emerging research is showing environmental exposures to things like pesticides and pollution may interact with a person’s genetics and contribute to the disease. And there’s a myriad of other factors still being investigated, from the forces that drive your access to neighborhoods with clean air and water, good doctors and healthy living opportunities to psychosocial factors like stress and discrimination. In audio from this Third Thursdays Webinar, listen to our expert panel discuss the latest research and ways you can get involved to end preventable exposures and advocate for Parkinson’s policy.

    Tools for Diagnosing and Visualizing Parkinson’s Disease (Webinar Audio) Jan 03, 2024

    Doctors have been using DaTscan brain imaging as a tool to help diagnose the Parkinson’s disease (PD) for more than a decade, but even people who know a lot about the disease often still have questions about its role — and the role of other imaging tools — in diagnosis and care. What’s a DaTscan, and how does it relate to PET, SPECT and MRI? When is a DaTscan or other brain imaging tool used in PD? Are there any risks?

    In this audio from our Third Thursdays Webinar, experts and people with PD offer listeners an impromptu course in Brain Imaging 101. You’ll learn to differentiate the different types of imaging used to visualize the brain and how they are used in PD research and care. You’ll also learn the latest in efforts to visualize alpha-synuclein, the protein that misfolds and clumps in Parkinson’s, and what its selective imaging in the living brain will mean for PD clinical trials and care.

    Genetics Discovery Underscores Importance of Diversity in Parkinson’s Disease Research Nov 15, 2023

    In a groundbreaking discovery earlier this year, a global consortium founda new variant in the GBA gene that is associated with a higher risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD) for people of African ancestry. The finding marks the first African ancestry-specific genetic risk factor for Parkinson’s disease. In this podcast, researchers share the human stories behind the discovery, which underscores the importance of international collaboration and the participation of underrepresented communities in research.

    Themes covered in this discussion:

    • (02:05) – Breaking down the genetic discovery and why it’s important for PD research
    • (05:27) ­– More on the genetic samples that resulted in this discovery
    • (06:53) –Why the GBA1 gene is of interest and its connection to PD
    • (11:13) – How the Global Parkinson’s Genetics Program (GP2) maintains privacy and confidentiality of data from study participants
    • (13:15) – How people should think about genetics as a risk factor for PD
    • (14:55) – Capacity building and building community trust
    • (19:57) –Why this discovery takes us closer to finding better treatments and a cure for PD
    • (21:51) – Story behind accidental discovery of GBA1 variant
    • (22:50) – Background on GP2 and excitement on the GBA1 variant discovery
    • (33:17) – Ethnicity and health risk factors and other determinants of health
    • (35:03) – Importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in science and to The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s mission
    • (36:52) – Research in PD historically focused on people of Northern European ancestry
    • (38:09) –Why people from underrepresented groups need to lead these studies
    • (39:30) – Importance of including underrepresented populations across the research pipeline
    • (40:18) –Why research participation is important and how you can get involved

    If Not Us, Who? Humans behind a Biomarker Breakthrough May 24, 2023

    Faith and science are not often discussed together, but science requires a leap of faith. A few years ago, MJFF staff scientists, Samantha Hutten, PhD and Katie Kopil, PhD never would have guessed that a leap of faith and a cold call to a researcher in Texas would lead to a tool that, for the first time, can detect Parkinson’s in people who have not yet shown symptoms. With the help of the countless community members taking part in the PPMI study, these researchers found a biomarker for Parkinson’s. Hear all about the journey to the breakthrough and what it means to the Parkinson’s community in this rich discussion with some of the humans behind it.

    What You Need to Know about Sleep, Aging and Parkinson's Mar 15, 2023

    Did you know that RBD – REM sleep behavior disorder, or acting out dreams -- can be an early indicator of Parkinson’s? Many people develop sleep issues as they age — with and without PD.
    Join host Larry Gifford in a rich discussion with expert Stephen Joza, MD, PhD; Allen Dance, recently diagnosed with RBD; and Richie Rothenberg, patient advisor to The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF), with his care partner Julie Merson, on why sleep is important, strategies to tackle sleep problems and the importance of participating in research studies like MJFF’s Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI).
    The PPMI study is learning more about the connection between RBD and Parkinson’s to understand who gets the disease, who doesn’t and why. And those insights could lead to better treatments and cures. For more information on RBD, visit michaeljfox.org/dreams.

    Making Strides: Treatments and Technology for Walking Problems in Parkinson's Jul 20, 2022

    Walking is a complex skill. So, shares Catherine Kopil, PhD, in the third episode of our “Parkinson’s Science POV” podcast series.
    Gait requires a symphony of connections between the brain and body, which makes it one of the hardest Parkinson’s symptoms to treat. Kopil, MJFF Senior Vice President of Clinical Research, and Chief Scientific Officer Mark Frasier, PhD, discuss progress toward understanding the neuroscience of gait challenges, such as walking, balancing, shuffling steps and freezing. They talk about treatments in testing and the use of digital technology to measure and predict gait changes in people with PD.
    Much of this work is happening in our landmark Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) study. Join today at www.michaeljfox.org/podcast-PPMI to contribute to new discoveries and better measures of disease. PPMI especially needs people recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s or with certain risk factors such as smell loss or acting out dreams.

    Parkinson’s Disease and Acting Out Your Dreams (Ask the MD Podcast) Mar 30, 2022

In this episode, our on-staff movement disorder specialist speaks with a couple about their experience with acting out dreams, called REM sleep behavior disorder.
    If you or your bed partner act out your dreams — whether you have Parkinson’s or not — you can play a critical role in research. Join the study that could change everything at michaeljfox.org/podcast-ppmi
