The European Parkinson’s Disease Association and Parkinson’s UK recognize April 11, 2018, as World Parkinson’s Day. Millions of people worldwide are affected by this condition and this campaign seeks to raise awareness and understanding of Parkinson’s Disease using the hashtag#UniteForParkinsons. The disease is named for James Parkinson, most famous for publishing ‘An Essay on the Shaking Palsy’ in 1817. In support of this day, and to continue to promote scientific publication that furthers the research and development of new treatments for this neurological disorder, ACS Chemical Neuroscience is pleased to feature the below research on this subject.
