520    A science journalist with Parkinson's disease relates the 
       stories of patient, doctors, and researchers involved in 
       the hunt for a cure, describing the victories and the 
       setbacks and how those living with the disease cope with 
       their loss of body function and control. 
520    "Seven million people worldwide suffer from Parkinson's-- 
       with sixty thousand new cases diagnosed each year in the 
       U.S. alone-- and it remains an enigma, with doctors, 
       researchers, and patients hunting for a cure. In Brain 
       Storms, award-winning journalist Jon Palfreman tells their
       story, a story that takes on urgency when he is diagnosed 
       with the debilitating illness. Palfreman chronicles how 
       scientists have labored to crack the mystery of what was 
       once called 'the shaking palsy,' from the earliest 
       clinical descriptions to the cutting edge of molecular 
       neuroscience. He charts the victories and setbacks of a 
       massive international effort to best the disease, referred
       to as one of the best windows into the brain itself."--
