A new test can detect the biological signature of Parkinson’s disease before symptoms arise. A Stanford Medicine neurologist explains why early diagnosis opens the door to better therapies.
A few closely related drugs, all squarely aimed at treating Alzheimer’s disease, have served up what can be charitably described as a lackadaisical performance. Stanford Medicine neurologist Mike Greicius explains why these drugs, so promising in theory, don’t appear to be helping patients much if at all.
