His findings spurred the establishment of human brain tissue banks, research into dopamine, and treatments of other diseases caused by low levels of neurotransmitters. Today, it is generally agreed that the initiation of the treatment of Parkinsons disease with L-dopa represented one of the triumphs of pharmacology of our time, Professor Hornykiewicz wrote in The History of Neuroscience in Autobiography, Volume IV (2004).

Newly developed MRI techniques can help neuroradiologists more effectively target and treat the area of the brain responsible for tremors in patients living with Parkinsons disease, leading to better surgery outcomes and fewer side effects. A research team, led by investigators from the University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW), has detailed three refined MRI methods neuroradiologists can use to precisely pinpoint the pea-sized region in the brains thalamus -- the ventral intermediate nucleas -- that is involved in movement. Providers use those MRI images with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to burn away tissue causing movement problems Continue reading →

DALLAS June 14, 2020 Recently developed MRI techniques used to more precisely target a small area in the brain linked to Parkinsons disease and essential tremor may lead to better outcomes without surgery and with less risk of negative effects, a new study led by UT Southwestern researchers suggests. The study, published today in Brain, describes recently refined MRI methods designed to allow neuroradiologists to zero in on a pea-sized region in the brains thalamus involved in movement.

INBRAIN Neuroelectronics, a spin-off of the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) and ICREA, has received funding from Sabadell Asabys and Alta Life Sciences, as well as ICF and Finaves, which will allow the company to speed up the development of novel graphene-based implants to optimize the treatment of brain disorders, such as Parkinsons and epilepsy. INBRAIN Neuroelectronics was established in 2019 with the mission of developing brain-implants based on graphene technology for application in patients with epilepsy, Parkinsons, and other neuronal diseases. These smart devices, built around an innovative graphene electrode, will decode with high certainty neural signals from the brain and produce a therapeutic response adapted to the clinical condition of the specific patient.
