Bonnie-- if you really want *abstracts* re: PD, perhaps J.Bruman can help? He regularly posts lists of PD related articles in medical journals--but of course one needs a good medical library to find the journals! For more general PD info, All the national groups have good free literature: Here's a reading list--maybe of interest: Here is the first version of suggested reading posted with thanks to Sid Roberts and also the Parkinson's Web. If you have any suggestions please let me know and I will include them in further posts.
