@kalialabs previously found that excessive alpha-synuclein causes proteosome dysfunction prior to neurodegeneration. Newly minted PhD - Dr Hui - and the team now discovered that these early events also include alterations in mitophagy: tinyurl.com/5n76dxvv

Adaptive/closed-loop #DBS is a fascinating new tool which will likely expand the current list of indications, beyond #Parkinson We used it to understand #orthostatic #tremor during day-to-day conditions but also to stimulate on demand, with better results compared to classic DBS
