Parkinson's Disease Motivation Study

Are you someone living with Parkinson's disease? If so, you are aware that in addition to symptoms affecting movement, people with Parkinson's disease also experience non-motor symptoms such as problems with mood and motivation which can be difficult to treat. If you have been living with Parkinson's disease for at least 5 years and take medication for Parkinson's disease, you may be eligible to participate in a research study aimed at treating low motivation with a form of non-invasive brain stimulation called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

Genetic Determinants of Neurological and Developmental Disorders

The purpose of this study is to identify and genomically-characterize individuals with genetically unexplained neurodevelopmental disorders, such as epilepsy. The overarching goal is to provide patients with improved information about the underlying genetic basis of their disorder and illuminate novel genetically-defined treatment approaches in the future.
