In this episode of Brainstorming with Clare de Lore, we talk about Parkinson's Disease.
It impacts around 13,000 people in New Zealand directly and it's thought around 10 million people globally. There is concern a surge of cases coming as our population ages.
Professor Maurice Curtis from the Centre from Brain Research tells Clare about the potential research into the condition and why he's optimistic for the future.
And we hear from Peter Garelja - a retired school principal who is living with the condition.
