<sigh> One reviewer used AI to review our manuscript. How do we know? Suggested papers to cite that do not exist. Some titles correct, but everything else is wrong or just fabricated out of whole cloth. Requested citations for things I’ve said in review papers that were citing other papers.

Interesting. Wasn’t aware of these nuances and various implications. A faculty in my dept at UF appealed and her grant was reinstated.

How do motivational disturbances (apathy and ICD) and cognitive effort-based decision-making affect Parkinson's? What if you are slow motorically is there a way to truly assess motivation? YEP. You might be surprised as Bonnie Scott and Robert Eisinger at Fixel delight us in their new PRD journal.

Love this- I feel I’m constantly having to beat into trainees (and some faculty) the difference between theory, hypothesis and prediction. Not sure why this is such a hard distinction. Basic logic. Sigh!

Does Parkinson's affect the eyes? YEP. Does the optic disc fade in Parkinson's? Apparently YES according to Samuel Gibbon and colleagues in a brand new article in the Journal Movement Disorders. Parkinson's is a disease of the brain and body, and YES that includes the eyes.
