We sat down with Josh Goldberg to talk about how the earliest prodromal symptoms of Parkinson's manifest at a cellular and network level in the autonomic nervous system. Charlie Wilson and Salma Quraishi talked with him about identifying distinct biophysical adaptations in an adult-onset mouse model, and how these changes are sufficient to explain one of the earliest signs of disease (hint: constipation!).  

Dr. Goldberg is Associate Professor of Medical Neurobiology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.  http://www.goldberglab.net
