New research from @VJoers @MaluTansey & colleagues reports that 7 weeks of peripheral administration of an inverse cannabinoid receptor-2 agonist modulates inflammatory & immune responses an a-synuclein model of #Parkinsons jneuroinflammation.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

A fantastic initiative from @CureParkinsonsT (well done Anaya) and data will inform neurological trials more generally. With thanks to QMU, and colleagues @Parkinson’s UK for disseminating

"There is much research to be done to ensure their [biomarkers] appropriate & effective use in clinical settings. The neuropathology community is eager to work with our clinical & neuroimaging colleagues to achieve this important goal" - Preach!

Please watch this video I took part in to help promote awareness of #parkinsons with @moversand6 @MattEagles @GaynorZone @ems_lawton

You don't see objective reality objectively: neuroscience catches up to philosophy Objective reality exists, but what can you know about it that isn’t subjective. According to some neuroscientists, not much. #reality bigthink.com/thinking/objec…

Love this !

Great to be @ the @EJS_ACT_PD annual meeting! @foltynie & @CamilleBCarroll are opening proceedings with an update (& celebration!) of what has been achieved thus far in the consortiums efforts to build a MAMS platform for clinical trials of disease modifying drugs for #Parkinsons

I had such a great day too, very positive, greatly uplifting and genuinely inspiring for all to continue with the excellent initiative @EJS_ACT_PD are working with 🧑🏼‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬⚛️🔬 Shafaq and Kuhan, it's always a pleasure to see you too, you truly are two of the very loveliest of people there are (and fantastic shoes Shafaq 👞👞) So many great people to thank for the day, and the continuing establishment of a clinical trial research programme on stopping the progression of #Parkinsons 🧡 @Dr_SF_Hussain @morethanatremor @CureParkinsonsT @ParkinsonsUK @foltynie @CamilleBCarroll @HelenMatthewsQ

Amazing day! What an inspirational group of people! So much has been achieved already with @EJS_ACT_PD! Congrats to @CamilleBCarroll @foltynie & team on fantastic progress. The future of #Parkinsons clinical trial research looked bright today. @CureParkinsonsT is proud to support

This is excellent advice even if one isn’t a neurosurgeon.

This week we’re supporting @ParkinsonsUK with the ‘Parkinson’s Research Needs You’ campaign! Read how we’ve been working together to improve Parkinson’s research, and bring forward new treatments for Parkinson’s, faster: buff.ly/3WQ15OZ #ParkinsonsResearchNeedsYou

@MichaelOkun @NatureMedicine @NEJM One question that lingers still (6 years later): is the primary effect of GLP-1 agonists truly on microglia, and not directly on astrocytes (see below) or neurons? Has anyone else seen direct effects on microglia? @brundin_lena biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@masson_graeme Sometimes the only response is to swear a lot !!

I’ve been asked to do a talk on my PD “journey” to the local PD group. Reviewing the 1st draft, I’m thinking I need to use the word “fucking” a little more sparingly. And I’m not sure that the bit where I discuss at length one advantage of a shaking hand will be appropriate 🤔

This connectivity and dedication to research into #parkinson’s is why @CureParkinsonsT is so pleased to support this network and proud of all it is achieving. @ScienceofPD
