Parkinson Society Canada is hosting a webinar on Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson’s disease, on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 at 1 p.m. EST. The presenter will be Dr. Oury Monchi of the Centre de recherche de l’Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal (IUGM), at University of Montreal. Registration details will be posted on www.parkinson.ca.


Dear Parkinson’s Society,
I do not live in Montreail but am very interested in learning what Dr Oury Monchi has to say about cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease. My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s three years ago and his most serious symptom is intermittent cognitive impairment. Is it possible to read a transcript of Dr. Monchi’s presentation or read some papers by him perhaps? I would really benefit from learning more about cognitive impairment and how to deal with it on a day to day basis.
If you can provide a transciopt or some paper titles, I would be most grateful. Please email me at *****.
Thank you!
