Seems to be at odds with the study in this thread:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...ighlight=zocor

In the study first mentioned, only one specific statin, simvastatin, reduced the risk of PD by 50%, and they suggested it may be because it enters the brain easily. Other statins like Lipitor did not do the trick.

I've been taking zocor (simvastatin) for a few years.

"The researchers speculate that the selective benefit observed with simvastatin might be due to the combination of high potency and the ability to enter the brain."
