Muhammad Ali's death has brought Parkinson's disease back in the spotlight.

The boxer didn't die from Parkinson's but he lived with it for about 32 years before he died on Friday at age 74.

MPR News regular medical analyst Dr. Jon Hallberg joined All Things Considered host Tom Crann to talk about the disease.

They discussed how the disease affects people, how common it is and how it's treated, among other facets of the condition.
