Using multimodal imaging to understand Parkinson's

Parkinson’s is usually thought of as a disease affecting movement, but it can also cause problems with thinking and memory. It affects people in different ways, making it difficult to predict what will happen to an individual. We have developed sensitive visual tests for people with Parkinson’s disease to detect whether the thinking parts of the brain are involved.

Our group uses multimodal brain imaging, plasma markers and sensitive visual tests to understand how cognition is affected in Parkinson’s disease.
