How does apathy affect decision making in Parkinson’s?
Apathy can involve a loss of motivation for doing things. Researchers want to learn how apathy might affect the choices people with Parkinson’s make. This could help create new treatments for this symptom.

Unfortunately, those who have been diagnosed with dementia are unable to take part.
Visiting the research site in Birmingham twice for up to 3 hours, which will involve:
