Hi, it's me, Santina, your older sister in science and in this episode of The Plasticity Podcast, we explore the complex neurobiology of Parkinson’s disease — a progressive movement disorder rooted in the brain’s dopamine networks and neural plasticity. We’ll break down what happens in the nervous system, how scientists are studying its mechanisms, and what living with Parkinson’s really feels like for millions of people around the world. Along the way, we talk about cutting-edge research, community support, and how collective efforts are reshaping our understanding of this condition.

Whether you’re a caregiver, someone newly diagnosed, a neuroscience enthusiast, or simply curious, you’ll come away with a deeper grasp of both the science and the humanity behind Parkinson’s disease.
