Journal CME highlights various articles covering relevant issues, developments and research topics in the area of movement disorders. Articles are selected from Movement Disorders, the official Journal of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Upon completion of this activity learners will be able to:

1. Understand the effect of perampanel on α-synuclein transmission in cultured cells and mouse models of PD
2. Assess how the inhibition of neuronal activity could modulate the dynamics of α-syn, inhibit the propagation of α-syn pathology, and attenuate the progression of PD
3. Evaluate the targeting of neuronal activity with PER as a new therapeutic strategy for synucleinopathies including PD and other neurodegenerative diseases

This activity is intended for physicians, fellows or other practitioners in the field of Movement Disorders with an emphasis on current practice trends.
