Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive motor disorder that often occurs later in life. Our researchers are studying the brain circuits that are disrupted in PD. We are also developing tools for measuring dopamine and chronic drug delivery, as well as for non-invasive deep brain stimulation.
