Things are looking better!

An Israeli company, Insightec, has developed a new technique for controlling Parkinson's. Instead of going under the knife for brain surgery, the surgeon uses ultrasound and has met with success. Read all about it HERE. Ignore the advertisement header. The article is beneath it.

If you have had a bad day, this good news should brighten it up. Good news is always welcome, isn't it.

Onward and upward always.

    Thanks for sharing this. It is good news and a very positive development being used in Virginia too.

    Another reference to using magnetic resonance imaging (MR) to guide ultrasound waves through the intact skin and skull to reach the globus pallidus.
