    Description

    Michael J Fox, star of the Back to the Future trilogy, was born in 1961, moved to Hollywood aged 18 and while avidly lapping up the customary attention and refreshments, he developed Parkinson’s disease.

    He has now authored a memoir describing his experience of the disease alongside his career as an actor.

    In this podcast, hear PN editor Phil Smith discuss the book with Huw Morris, expert in young onset Parkinson's, National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.

In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Practical Neurology is included as part of a subscription to JNNP and provided in print to all members of the Association of British Neurologists. * The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.
