This looks like the best advance since ldopa, so I must have missed something.
I know MJFF are involved with this approach, testing it for tremor and dyskinesia, can someone, (perhaps from MJFF), summarise where we are with this and is it being targeted as a replacement for DBS ? Neil. |

Something I found even as interesting as the procedure itself is located in the bottom video at the 3:30 mark where he discusses opening up the narrow BBB entrance to allow easier and more efficient targeting. He doesn't say much but it could be an important step for meds and other treatments.

I don't know if it's false hope, permanent damage or only lasts a few years, or if they even know at this point. Maybe a professional reading these threads could shed some light.
