Episode 5. Whiteout – The Peril of the Parkinson’s Brain

In this episode I explore the history and pathology of Parkinson’s disease.

I use anecdotes from fascinating patient anecdotes, such as that of cardiologist Thomas Graboys, to review the clinical manifestations of the disease.

I discuss how Adolf Hitler’s Parkinson’s disease may have influenced the course of World War II, and I review the history of how the frozen addicts led to the development of the MPTP model of the disease.

I also retell the development of the Contursi genetic model of Parkinson’s disease.

The podcast also discusses the risk factors and treatment of the disease, and the uncertainties that surround the cause of the disease.
