When motor fluctuations persist despite optimized use of levodopa + MAO‑B + COMT + DA agonists (± amantadine), think Refractory Motor Complications (RMC). Before jumping to DBS/infusions, ensure true best‑medical therapy has been tried. Pearls: maximize dosing frequency, use ER/OD formulations, educate on timing + food interactions. loom.ly/V5k3oN8

This is progress. Expert IWG #Alzheimers clinicians recommend against the disease-without-symptoms 'biologically defined' @alzassociation criteria and clarify that treating pathology doesn't necessarily mean treating disease. @nvillain_alz @LonSchneiderMD jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Low intensity transcranial focus ultrasound can induce plasticity in the motor cortex of patients with Parkinson’s! The effects are related with the use of dopaminergic medication.
