What to know about Parkinson’s disease in light of speculation about Biden

Many congressional Democrats believe their party is hurtling toward a cliff’s edge and shouldn’t even bother trying to turn around. Late last week, Senate Democrats held a private meeting to discuss Joe Biden’s electoral viability in the wake of his disastrous debate performance and subsequent revelations of his apparent cognitive decline. According to Politico, no more than four of the caucus’s 50 Democrats said they were committed to sticking with Biden as their party’s nominee.

Researchers have discovered how a cell surface protein called Aplp1 can play a role in spreading material responsible for  Parkinson's disease from cell-to-cell in the brain.
Promisingly, an FDA-approved  cancer drug that targets another protein called Lag3 – which interacts with Aplp1 – blocks the spread in mice, suggesting a potential therapy may already exist.



					
			

In a new paper, an international team of scientists describes how the two proteins work together to help harmful alpha-synuclein protein clumps get into brain cells.
"Now that we know how Aplp1 and Lag3 interact, we have a new way of understanding how alpha-synuclein contributes to...

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”

I met Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Donald Trump’s new choice for vice president, in the summer of 2022. I was covering a conservative conference in Israel, and Vance was the surprise VIP attraction. We chatted for a bit about the connections between right-wing movements across the world, and what American conservatives could learn from foreign peers. He was friendly, thoughtful, and smart — much smarter than the average politician I’ve interviewed.

Visual hallucinations are a significant issue for many patients with Parkinson’s disease. A recent study published in the journal Brain reveals that these hallucinations are associated with a marked deficiency of cholinergic activity in specific regions of the brain, particularly the left ventral visual stream and the left superior temporal lobe. This research highlights the importance of cholinergic denervation in visual hallucinations, offering new insights into the underlying mechanisms and potential treatment options.

Secondary symptoms of PD can be as debilitating as the primary motor symptoms, often leading to increased disability, reduced independence, and a higher burden on caregivers. Parkinson disease (PD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder involving multiple neurotransmitter pathways in the brain and autonomic nervous system, has been typically characterized by motor symptoms including tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural reflex disturbance. Although these dopaminergic motor symptoms are a major part of the clinical management of the disease, a growing number of patients have expressed that the nonmotor, secondary symptoms affect their quality of life even more.
