Parkinson’s Disease and Deep Brain Stimulation – Good Idea or Not?
There is a lot of buzz in the science literature about Deep Brain Stimulation, most recently a nicely written December 2005 correspondence reply article in the Journal of the American Medical Association entitled, "What Is Deep Brain Stimulation "Failure" and How Do We Manage Our Own Failures?"

Welcome back to the GNIF Brain Blogger!
Welcome back to Brain Blogger. A few things have changed since your last visit, the most apparent being that I am your new host Tony Brown. First of all, I would like to thank the former host and project co-founder Ray McIntyre, who, along with our Executive Director Shaheen Lakhan, did a great job in making this project happen. These two guys were able to take an idea and turn it into action, faster than a basal ganglia! Good job guys and thanks for setting the bar so high.
