Dear Dr. Miguel Nicolelis,

Your research looks very promising.
As it did in 2009.
As it did in 2011.
And here we are in 2014.

What has been happening with this line of research in the past 5 years?

Shortage of volunteers? I think Parkies would fall over each other to sign up for a drug-free treatment.
Shortage of money? Well, did you try all the usual suspects and then make a public appeal?
Electrical stimulation would not be patentable or profitable to the existing drug empire?

Will we hear about this again in another 5 years?
If you are facing roadblocks, alert the Parkinson Archipelago, so at least they will know what they are missing.
