thanks Nan, for posting this. i called and spoke to Amy, who knew you had posted it here. She [Amy] said they are looking for patients and are at this time data collecting on pd cognition. hooray. It is a new field of study - pd dementia.

I do think there will be changes in expectations....that can only come from a calming of everyone's neurotransmitters.....and data collection is the ticket now. They are not having clinical trials now, maybe in the future, but looking for patients locally for now.
