The Parkinson’s Enigma

From the up-close-and-personal involvement of veteran actor Michael J. Fox (who is currently battling Parkinson’s himself) to an international community of neurologists, The Parkinson’s Enigma explores advances in the understanding, treatment, and ongoing research into Parkinson’s and related disorders. From a theoretical viewpoint that Parkinson’s may be defined as a brain injury caused by viral attacks or environmental toxins, the video chronicles research that investigates how these factors can cause progressive damage to the “gearbox” of the brain, which occupations have higher risks of Parkinson’s and how family heredity may play a part.

The video provides a clearer understanding of what Parkinson’s is, and how working together, we are closer to a cure.
