Parkinson's research focussing on patient's hallucinations

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 29 May 2023

A Canterbury researcher with a personal connection with Parkinson's disease is going to investigate hallucinations experienced by those with the disease.

Dr Kyla-Louise Horne has been awarded an $180k grant by The Canterbury Medical Research Foundation to support her two year research project.

The condition affects more than 12-thousand kiwis and this project has the potential to hugely improve their lives.
