Dr. Kathleen Poston, director of the Stanford Movement Disorders Center, will be speaking on “The Prodrome of PD” at the PANC Annual Conference on Saturday, October 23, 2021.  A “prodrome” is when we can see some symptoms of early Parkinson’s disease (PD) but not enough to warrant a diagnosis.  Another term used is “preclinical.”  Dr. Poston will address whether there are motor and non-motor signs that can help identify PD earlier.  Registration for the full-day conference — in-person in Roseville and virtually — is open now.
