Author Tip
Neurology adopted the following policy to support and promote data transparency: Data not provided in a neurology article because of space limitations must be made available in a trusted data repository or shared at the request of other investigators for purposes of replicating procedures and results. Editors and peer reviewers can review data deposited in the Dryad public repository at the time of manuscript submission. Authors will pay a nominal fee for depositing data in a public repository (waivers exist for submissions from authors based in countries classified by the World Bank as low- or middle-income economies).

Study: Therapy by Phone Is Effective for Depression in People with Parkinson's
Depression is common in people with Parkinson disease and contributes to faster physical and mental decline, but it is often overlooked and undertreated. Cognitive-behavioral therapy has shown promising results for treating depression in people with Parkinson disease, yet many people do not have access to therapists who understand Parkinson disease and can provide this evidence-based depression treatment. The good news is that participating in cognitive-behavioral therapy by telephone may be effective in reducing depression symptoms for people with Parkinson disease.
