Brain storms : the race to unlock the mysteries of Parkinson's disease
Palfreman, Jon2015
Books
Seven million people worldwide suffer from Parkinson's, with more men having the disease than women. Yet it remains an enigma, with doctors, researchers and patients hunting for a cure. In this book, Jon Palfreman tells their stories, stories that take on a particular urgency since he himself has been diagnosed with the illness. Palfreyman chronicles how scientists have laboured to crack the mystery of what was once called the 'shaking palsy', from the earliest clinical descriptions to the cutting edge of molecular neuroscience.
