程度の副詞

It's his birthday, he turns 61 years old today.

He comes home and before he puts his keys into the door to open the door,

He lets his arms dangle to his side for a moment.

No rigidity, no signs of Parkinson's disease.

He remembers when his mom was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease

when she was just 50 years old, much younger than he is today.

And he remembers her frustrations with simple tasks

like putting the keys in the door or even dressing herself.

that he found out that he, just like his mom,

that makes it more likely for him to get the disease.

Now, he shakes it off, opens the door, and goes inside

and a loud noise of "Surprise!" greets him

as his friends and family cheer and celebrate his birthday.

His wife hands him a glass of champagne and everyone raises a toast,

Another year gone, and no sign of Parkinson's disease.

He secretly raises a toast to the warriors, the champions,

The new Parkinson's disease drug has just received FDA approval

after showing great promise in clinical trials.

Not just in masking the symptoms of the disease, like the previous drugs,

but actually stopping the progressive degeneration.

This drug is nothing short of a miracle taking less than ten years;

usually, the time line of drug development is long, over 15 years,

This time, there were tools that predicted interactions and successes

and avoided a sea of failed studies and negative data.

Alex is still asymptomatic, but brain scans show

there's already some degeneration in his brain.

He starts treatment immediately to avoid further damage.

and I tell you about two progressive and debilitating brain diseases:

Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

I tell you that this is what happens to your brain in Alzheimer's disease.

And I ask you: what would you do to keep your brain from this fate?

to save your most precious memories, your cognition, your identity?

to keep enough motor control, to dress yourself, feed yourself,

And I tell you that as life expectancy grows,

we will be faced with a dramatically higher number

conquerors fighting these inhumane diseases.

I tell you of revolutionary advances in the field of neuroscience

and that we are on the verge of powerful, new tools like neurostimulation.

to create a model of what happens inside an individual neuron or brain cell.

It allows us to put together the pieces of the puzzle

which I think it's an idea worth spreading.

He hears this talk and joins the warriors.

and use his skills set to contribute to research.

While we're here already, let's keep rewinding.

Scientists have just discovered a mutation in a gene called LRRK2.

This genetic mutation significantly increases

a person's likelihood of getting Parkinson's disease.

Meanwhile, Alex is with his mom at the hospital,

watching as the neurologist performs motor tests

and trying to come to grip with his mom's Parkinson's disease,

that they both carry this newly discovered genetic mutation.

that I attended the Society for Neuroscience Meeting.

I have just started my research on Parkinson's disease,

and I had my first piece of data in hand.

because I actually found something that no one else knew before.

Actually finding something that no one knew.

a little secret to me that I could tell the world.

I saw 25,000 other neuroscientists and trainees

who were just as giddy and excited about the brain as I was.

Each of them unlocking the 'hows' of the brain and the nervous system.
