While the words Parkinson's disease can be found in the first paragraph, this is truly an OFF TOPIC article, but I will confess that I did chuckle over the Video!!
Snowball dances way into scientific papers YouTube star also has appeared on late-night shows By Steve Schmadeke | Tribune reporter, May 17, 2009 http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/l...,4858963.story He's a YouTube dance star (3 million views and counting) with appearances on Leno and Letterman under his belt. His uncanny abilities, chronicled in two recent scientific papers, may deepen our understanding of human neurobiology, potentially opening up better treatments for those suffering from movement disorders like Parkinson's disease. But on a recent afternoon, Snowball -- a sulphur-crested cockatoo The Economist magazine recently said "is probably the world's most famous parrot" -- was acting like, well, a bird, shrieking loudly in his cage kept in the basement of a nondescript Schererville, Ind., subdivision a few miles from the Illinois border. The video is found below these two paragraphs in the article.
