NIH funding drives innovation in brain health. It also supports Dr. Luke Bradley’s research on protecting and restoring brain cells in diseases like Parkinson’s, leading to promising treatments.
The NIH grant will provide the opportunity to carry out the first double-blinded study of the approach which combines deep brain stimulation with an experimental nerve-grafting procedure.
A pilot grant from UK’s Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) will advance neuroscience researcher George Quintero’s studies on Parkinson’s disease to a clinical investigation.
Dr. Craig Van Horne, neurosurgeon, and Dr. George Quintero, DBS neurophysiologist at UK HealthCare's Neuroscience Institute, discuss deep brain stimulation in Sunday's Herald-Leader Your Health column.
