description : Seven million people worldwide suffer from Parkinson's, and
doctors, researchers, and patients continue to hunt for a cure. In Brain Storms,
the award-winning journalist Jon Palfreman tells their story, a story that
became his own when he was diagnosed with the debilitating illness.
He takes us back to the late 1950s and the discovery of L-dopa.
Palfreman chronicles how scientists have worked to crack the mystery of what
was once called the shaking palsy, from the earliest clinical descriptions of
tremors, gait freezing, and micrographia to the cutting edge of neuroscience,
and charts the victories and setbacks of a massive international effort to best
the disease.
