ANA Investigates The Neural Exposome

Look around you right now and think for a minute about all of the things you're exposed to: the coffee you're drinking, the mug holding the coffee you're drinking, the soap that mug was washed in, the sleep you got last night -- or didn't get. All of this is part of what we now call your exposome. And as we're learning, the neural exposome influences our risk of developing a range of neurologic diseases.

Our guest today is Dr. Eva Feldman, the  James W Albers Distinguished University Professor and the Russell N. De Young professor of neurology and neurosurgery at the University of Michigan. She'll talk to us about research on the neural exposome in neurodegenerative disease -- and what we should be telling patients and policymakers about this research. Dr. Feldman was interviewed by Dr. Vinita Acharya, Professor of Neurology and Distinguished Educator at Penn State College of Medicine.
