Additionally the book addresses all of the new and emerging Parkinson's disease therapies (stem cells, gene therapy, optogenetics, etc.).

Any additional comments?

This book is an incredibly worthwhile read. It goes so much deeper than I could ever have imagined in terms of information and reasons to hope for future advances in technology. Having had DBS surgery just 3 months ago, Chaper # 5 on DBS was my favorite. The way Dr. O speculates about the future and what might happen as DBS evolves is far-reaching and promising. Talk about infusing patients with hope! I found the in-depth explanation of the surgery to be educational and I learned quite a bit about the effects of DBS in terms of rejuvenating brain cells.There is so much in this book beyond DBS that will help PD people for years to come. I urge other PD people to read it.
