Parkinson's Disease 101 is a community neuroscience education program that was developed to help Parkinsonian's understand the basic neuroscience underlying PD, as well as the biological basis for the various surgical and drug treatments currently available. Parkinson's Disease 101 was modeled after a Brain Awareness program for local elementary schoolchildren that was developed by students in the Behavioral Neuroscience Club at FAU. Using many of the same activities and materials that we use to teach children, we have been able to bring neuroscience education to the adults in our community. Parkinson's Disease 101, an interactive hands-on program, has been presented to several local Parkinson's support groups in South Florida. During the presentation, the Parkinsonian's and their caregivers learn about the brain's anatomy and physiology and how it relates to PD. Treatments such as pallidotomy, deep-brain stimulation, stem cell transplants, and pharmaceutical agents are explained in relation to brain struc...

Learn more about the CR Congress passed ahead of the October 1 deadline. This CR funds the government at FY 24 levels through Wednesday, December 20, ahead of their holiday recess. While it is a positive outcome that the government did not shut down, it is critical to understand the negative impacts a CR has on biomedical research and why it’s imperative that Congress return after the election to fund the government for the remaining months of FY 25. Send your Senators and Representatives a message highlighting research advances presented at Neuroscience 2024 and urging them to provide robust funding for biomedical research in FY 25.

An ideal prosthetic arm should both act and feel like a healthy human arm to enable a user to interact naturally with individuals and objects around them. To do so, the prosthesis needs to convey physical object characteristics, such as how soft or roug...

Normal-baric 100% oxygen treatment (100%NbOxTr) during first aid enhances neuronal survival rates in the human brain after heart attacks or strokes. However, whether motor learning processes of the brain can be improved by this treatment is not known. M...
