The Substantia Nigra is Key to Parkinson’s Disease

In Episode 13 of The Doctor Snow Brain Health Show, World-Renowned PhD Neuropathologist, Inventor and Entrepreneur, Dr Alan Snow (and Scott Alford as Host) discuss “Inside the Parkinson’s Brain”, and all the current research, treatments, options and science behind Parkinson’s Disease. Dr Snow in 2005 was awarded a $3.5M LEAPS (Linked Efforts to Accelerate Parkinson’s Solutions) from the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease Research. Dr Snow reviews his own work to try to develop a new drug targeting alpha-synuclein accumulation in Lewy Bodies in the Parkinson’s brain. Dr Snow is a world-renowned expert in Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and other neurodegenerative and misfolded protein disorders.

Dr. Alan Snow is one of the worlds most-renowned PhD Neuropathologists, Inventors and Entrepreneurs. On this YouTube channel, DrSnowBrainhealth, Dr Alan Snow now teaches the world all about his 30+ years of brain health research that was mostly done in secret (under the umbrella of two different private biotechnology companies that he founded). 14 years as a Research Associate Professor at University of Washington Department of Pathology and project leader at the University of Washington Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. Dr Snow founded two different private biotechnology companies to develop new small molecule drugs (Company #1) and nutraceuticals (Company #2) for memory loss and brain aging, as well as neurodegenerative diseases and misfolded protein disorders.

In his career, Dr Snow has been granted 18 National Institute of Health (NIH) awards, a $3.5M LEAPS (Linked Efforts to Accelerate Parkinson’s Solutions) from the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease Research, and is an inventor on 350+ issued patents in the USA and throughout the world for drugs, nutraceuticals and screening technologies for brain aging, memory loss, neurodegenerative diseases and misfolded protein disorders. In the late 1980’s/early 1990’s Dr Snow published papers with Dr Stanley Prusiner (who invented prion diseases and studies mad cow disease) who went on to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1997.

In 2019, Dr Snow published a 109-page paper in Nature-Scientific Reports about the discovery of a plant from the Amazon rain forest whose polyphenols enter the brain in minutes and start clearing out brain plaques, tangles and inflammation, while markedly improving memory. This 2019 paper won the award for “The Top 100 Most Downloaded Research Papers for a Nature journal in 2019”. In 2021, Dr Snow produced a novel dietary supplement for memory support called Percepta and demonstrated it outperformed the top 20 memory-support dietary supplements in the marketplace by greater than 50% in reducing brain plaques and tangles as demonstrated by comparative testing and in vitro screening.

Dr Snow’s brain health channel is premiered with his brain talk show “The Doctor Snow Brain Health Show” hosted by Scott Alford (a brain enthusiast) and covers different topics about brain health, brain aging and brain disease, that Dr Snow spent most of his life exploring. In particular, Dr Snow tells stories of how he dealt with his own mother having Alzheimer’s disease for 8 years before she died. This channel is the fastest growing brain health channel on YouTube, quickly accumulating 360,000+subscribers in a short period of time. Dr Snow’s brain research was secret for over 30 years and now in his mid 50’s decided to start a YouTube channel….Why? Because he knows too much about the brain…and wanted to share his knowledge with the world.
