• The road ahead: 2022 January 20, 2022 # # # # The first post at the start of each year on the SoPD website tries to provide an overview of where things are in the search for ‘disease modifying’ therapies for Parkinson’s.  It is an exercise in managing expectations as well as discussing what research events are scheduled for the next year so that we can keep…
• DBS: location, location, location December 15, 2019   Deep brain stimulation (or DBS) represents a well established treatment option for individuals with Parkinson’s who no longer respond to standard therapies. It involves tiny electrodes being embedded in the brain and they modulate populations of neurons that have become dysfunctional. The results of the DBS procedure can be “miraculous” for some individuals – reducing tremors and significantly improving…

• The road ahead: 2021 January 25, 2021 # # # # At the start of each year, it is a useful practise to layout what is planned over the next 12 months. The events that are scheduled for the year to come, so that we can keep an eye out for them. Obviously, where 2021 will end actually is unpredictable, but an outline of what is scheduled…

• Mind blowing modulation of mind October 12, 2021 # # # # Neuromodulation of specific circuits in the brain represents a means of adjusting deficits in neural performance and significantly improving quality of life. Deep brain stimulation has been widely applied to the treatment of Parkinson’s since Alim Benabid first discovered that electrical stimulation of the basal ganglia improves the symptoms of the condition in the late 1980s.…
• Abbott Partners with NIH on BRAIN Initiative to Use Neuromodulation Technologies May 16, 2019 Abbott is partnering with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to explore the use of its neuromodulation technologies for treating chronic pain and progressive movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease. The partnership’s goal is to drive forward the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies initiative, known as BRAIN, which is working to accelerate neuroscience research. With this collaboration agreement, Abbott will…
• The road ahead: 2020 January 5, 2020 Here at the SoPD, we are primarily interested in disease modification for Parkinson’s. While there is a great deal of interesting research exploring the causes of the condition, novel symptomatic therapies, and other aspects of Parkinson’s, my focus is generally on the science seeking to slow, stop or reverse the condition. At the start of each year, it is a…
• 2019: Year in review December 31, 2019   In this end-of-year post, we review the Parkinson’s research that caught our attention at SoPD HQ in 2019. Month-by-month we will briefly discuss some of the major pieces of research/announcements that have defined the year and advanced our understanding of Parkinson’s. The list is based on nothing more than the author’s personal opinion – apologies to any researchers who…
• Research Into Non-invasive Deep Brain Stimulation Earns Grossman Prize for Neuromodulation August 9, 2018 The 2018 Science & PINS Prize for Neuromodulation was awarded to Nir Grossman, PhD, for his research to stimulate deep and specific regions of the brain without surgery as a treatment for Parkinson’s disease and other disorders. Grossman, who is an assistant professor at Imperial College London and a fellow of the U.K. Dementia Research Institute, will receive $25,000 and…
