Expires: 1/16/2021

Accreditation:
The American Academy of Neurology Institute designates this journal-based-CME activity for a maximum of 0.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of the article by Rosso et al, the participant should be able to:
• State the prevalence of mild parkinsonian signs (MPS) in a cohort of older adults without a previous diagnosis of a neurologic disorder observed in this study
• Describe the association between vascular changes, measured by the amount of white matter hyperintensity on brain imaging, and the odds of MPS being found on examination in this study
• Describe the association between synaptic dopaminergic function, measured by catechol-O-methyltransferase genotype, and the odds of MPS being found on examination in this study.

• CME : 0.75

This program is designed for physicians who are involved in providing patient care and who wish to advance their current knowledge of clinical medicine.
