I did see it. I’ve asked the company where I might be able to undergo the scan as I’d like to rule out LBD. It won’t be cheap mind. 😬

Thank you hmm777, This technology could make a significant contribution to definitively establishing that a-syn is the key factor as it would appear. At this point recovery from the disease would be found on the line of how to get rid of this toxic protein. IMO the best way is to increase autophagy. Still several maybes to be resolved.
