Parkinson's and Alzheimer's: The solution in sight | Dr. Alberto Espay | TEDxWrigleyville

In his groundbreaking talk, Dr. Alberto Espay questions traditional hypotheses regarding the causes, and therefore the treatments, of neurodegeneration, diseases such as Huntington's, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's, discussing what we can do to bring about meaningful change for the sake of patients today and tomorrow.
Dr. Espay is the Endowed Chair of the James J. and Joan A. Gardner Center for Parkinson’s disease at the University of Cincinnati. He has published over 300 peer-reviewed research articles and 8 books, including Common Movement Disorders Pitfalls, which received the Highly Commended BMA Medical Book Award in 2013 and Brain Fables, the Hidden History of Neurodegenerative Diseases and a Blueprint to Conquer them, coauthored with Parkinson patient and advocate Benjamin Stecher, selected by the Association of American Publishers for the PROSE Award honoring the best scholarly work in Neuroscience published in 2020. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
