Welcome to the second episode of Between the Signals, a podcast brought to you by the UK Dementia Research Institute at King’s College London. In this episode, we explore what neurodegeneration and dementia are and discuss the similarities and differences between Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s and motor neuron disease.

Join Dr Asma Bashir and Dr Sarah Mizielinska as they speak with Dr Sarah Marzi, whose research focuses how environmental factors contribute the development of conditions such as Parkinson’s. Hear more on the latest cutting-edge research happening at the UK DRI, from understanding how molecules move around cells to developing new gene therapies.

Whether you're living with one of these conditions, a carer, researcher, or simply curious about neuroscience, this conversation provides insights into these complex conditions and hope for new treatments on the horizon.
