Movement disorders feature prominently in the March edition of European Journal of Neurology, so this month we are focussing on Parkinson’s disease. How up to date are you on the diagnostic criteria and pathophysiology of PD? Update yourself at http://www.ebrainjnc.com/learning/mod/scorm/view.php?id=759. Refresh your memory about the non-motor features also, and why the cognitive and psychiatric features are often more disabling than the movement disorder. http://www.ebrainjnc.com/learning/mod/scorm/view.php?id=764. The potential forensic consequences, including in relation to sexual behaviour and gambling are also discussed a session on The Forensic Neuropsychiatry of neurodegenerative disorders http://www.ebrainjnc.com/learning/course/view.php?id=558. All aspects relating to the diagnosis and management of PD are covered in the movement disorders module, including surgical treatment – watch the post-op video with Deep Brain Stimulation in this session http://www.ebrainjnc.com/learning/course/view.php?id=323
