So why are scientific studies sometimes difficult to understand? Our [Neuro Talk video series](https://www.youtube.com/playlist) breaks down what you need to know about various aspects of Parkinson’s research — in five minutes or less. These videos feature experts who discuss the current state of PD research and where the field is headed. The series also highlights what the Parkinson’s Foundation is doing to advance research toward a cure, from [genetic testing](/advancing-research/our-research/pdgeneration "PD GENEration: Powered by the Parkinson’s Foundation") to [drug development initiatives](/advancing-research/parkinsons-drug-discovery "Drug Discovery and Development"). Check out our top five Neuro Talk videos: ### 1. Myths and Realities of Parkinson's Disease From [symptoms](/understanding-parkinsons/movement-symptoms "Movement Symptoms") to [progression](/understanding-parkinsons/what-is-parkinsons/stages "Stages of Parkinson's"), there are many misconceptions about Parkinson's disease. Watch our Chief Scientific Officer, James Beck, PhD, debunk [seven common myths](/library/videos/myths "Neuro Talk: Myths and Realities of Parkinson’s ") about Parkinson's disease. **[LEARN ABOUT SYMPTOMS](/understanding-parkinsons/movement-symptoms "Movement Symptoms")** ### 2. Top Questions About PD GENEration Why should I participate in a genetics research study if I already know I have Parkinson’s disease? Watch our Chief Scientific Officer, James Beck, PhD, [answer your top questions](/library/videos/pdgeneration "Neuro Talk: Top Questions About PD GENEration") about the cutting-edge genetics research study, [PD GENEration: Mapping the Future of Parkinson’s Disease](/advancing-research/our-research/pdgeneration "PD GENEration: Powered by the Parkinson’s Foundation"). **[REGISTER FOR PD GENERATION](/advancing-research/our-research/pdgeneration "PD GENEration: Powered by the Parkinson’s Foundation")** ### 3. How Can We Diversify Parkinson’s Genetic Testing? [Diversifying genetic data](/blog/science-news/genetics-latinos "Groundbreaking Research Explores Genetic Causes of Parkinson's in Latinos") can help accelerate the pace of Parkinson’s disease research and get us closer to finding a cure. Watch our Associate Vice President of Research Programs, Anna Naito, PhD, highlight what the Parkinson’s Foundation is doing to reach new populations and to [increase diversity in genetics research](/library/videos/diversify-genetic-testing "Neuro Talk: How Can We Diversify Parkinson’s Genetic Testing?"). **[PD GENERATION EN ESPAÑOL](/espanol/investigacion/pdgeneration "PD GENEration: Impulsado por la Parkinson’s Foundation")** ### 4. Venture Philanthropy Fund: Propelling a Future of New Parkinson’s Drugs Through Research Parkinson’s research is underfunded, but our [Venture Philanthropy Fund](/advancing-research/parkinsons-drug-discovery "Drug Discovery and Development") is working to accelerate the breakthroughs in treatments that people with PD need today. Watch our Chief Scientific Officer, James Beck, PhD, explain how this new [research-driven investment fund](/blog/research/venture-philanthropy-fund "Neuro Talk: Propelling a Future of New Parkinson’s Drugs Through Research") can bring us closer to a cure. **[SUPPORT VENTURE PHILANTHROPY](/advancing-research/parkinsons-drug-discovery "Drug Discovery and Development")** ### 5. Medical Marijuana [Marijuana](/living-with-parkinsons/treatment/medical-marijuana "Medical Marijuana") and Parkinson’s disease is a hot topic. Watch our Chief Scientific Officer, James Beck, PhD, explain what the Parkinson’s community should know about marijuana and what the Parkinson’s Foundation is doing to learn more about the [positive effects of cannabis on PD symptoms](/library/videos/medical-marijuana "Neuro Talk: Medical Marijuana"). **[READ OUR SURVEY RESULTS](/blog/research/medical-marijuana-experiences "Weeding Through the Haze: People with Parkinson’s Share Medical Cannabis Experiences")** **[Watch more Neuro Talk videos on our YouTube channel.](https://www.youtube.com/playlist)** ## Related Materials Videos & Webinars ### [ Neuro Talk: Myths and Realities of Parkinson’s ](/library/videos/myths) [Watch Now](/library/videos/myths) Videos & Webinars ### [ Neuro Talk: Top Questions About PD GENEration ](/library/videos/pdgeneration) [Watch Now](/library/videos/pdgeneration) Videos & Webinars ### [ Neuro Talk: How Can We Diversify Parkinson’s Genetic Testing? ](/library/videos/diversify-genetic-testing) [Watch Now](/library/videos/diversify-genetic-testing) ## Related Blog Posts ![neurotalk-blog-jim](/sites/default/files/styles/500x360/public/images/neurotalk-blog-jim.jpg?h=8e7b635d&itok=ppJc-Tvr) Advancing Research ### [ Neuro Talk: Myths and Realities of Parkinson's Disease ](/blog/research/neuro-talk-myths) READ NOW ![neurotalk-blog-jim](/sites/default/files/styles/500x360/public/images/neurotalk-blog-jim.jpg?h=8e7b635d&itok=ppJc-Tvr) Advancing Research ### [ Neuro Talk: Top Questions About PD GENEration ](/blog/research/neuro-talk-pdgeneration) READ NOW ![People visiting a booth for PD GENEration testing in Omaha](/sites/default/files/styles/500x360/public/images/pdgene-testing-omaha.png?h=15f1d9aa&itok=cSUGoAeW) Advancing Research ### [ Neuro Talk: How Can We Diversify Parkinson’s Genetic Testing? ](/blog/research/diversity) READ NOW [view all blogs](/resources-support/blog) ### PD Library Deep dive into Parkinson’s topics that matter most to you.
