This Week on NeurologyLive

Every week, the NeurologyLive staff prepares this preview of what to expect from our coverage. This week on NeurologyLive, there are a number of hot topics that we will be posting throughout the week.

Be on the lookout for an interview with Virendra Mishra, PhD, associate staff, Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. Mishra stopped by to discuss a recent grant awarded to him by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to identify biomarkers that predict dementia in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). He also provides insight into his plans to develop a method that can be applied in clinical care with a greater-than-chance success rate to improve patient outcomes.
