In this episode, Dr. Michele Matarazzo interviews Dr. Adolfo M. García, senior author of the MDJ Research Article of the Year in Movement Disorders. They discuss how automated analysis of verbal fluency tasks in 464 Spanish-speaking people with Parkinson's disease can predict global cognition and identify mild cognitive impairment more accurately than simple word counts, as well as the potential for brief, scalable digital cognitive assessments.

The classic direct and indirect pathways of the basal ganglia are often taught as simple “Go” and “No-Go” systems for movement. But emerging evidence reveals a much richer picture. Dr. Michele Matarazzo speaks with Dr. Ann Graybiel about her 2026 Review Article of the Year Paper in Movement Disorders, exploring how basal ganglia circuits contribute to learning, decision-making, motivation, and mood; the emerging role of the external globus pallidus; and newly identified striosomal pathways that regulate dopamine and may reshape our understanding of Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders.

Notas del episodio
In this episode, we speak with Zixiao Yin, recipient of a Junior Award at the MDS Congress, about his work on reconstructing deep brain activity from cortical signals. Using more than 700 hours of simultaneous cortical and subcortical recordings across different movement disorders, brain targets, and clinical states, Yin and colleagues developed deep learning approaches to infer subcortical activity from cortical recordings. We discuss why this could matter for adaptive DBS, how cortical signals can be used to estimate STN beta activity and reconstruct deep brain signals, and whether this approach could provide an alternative when direct subcortical sensing is unreliable.Presidential Lecture Awardee: Stanley Fahn Award Lecture | Congress 2026

Notas del episodio
Dr. Divyani Garg speaks with Dr. Hubert H. Fernandez about tavapadon, a once-daily selective dopamine D1/D5 receptor agonist, and what the TEMPO clinical development program tells us about its potential role in Parkinson’s disease (PD). They discuss the rationale for D1/D5 stimulation, findings from other TEMPO programs, the magnitude and clinical meaning of the motor benefit, flexible dosing, and the important tolerability and discontinuation findings from TEMPO-2. The conversation also explores where tavapadon might fit relative to levodopa and conventional D2/D3 dopamine agonists, and its potential role across different stages of PD.
