Ali Parkinson Center Launches New Research Trial
(PDF)
Officials at the new Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center at Barrow Neurological Institute have announced the center's participation in a novel Parkinson's study aimed at determining the physical and neurological impact of simple exercise on Parkinson's patients. Participants' brains will be monitored to determine if increased physical activity actually helps protect the neurons in the brain from the disease.

4Barrow student researcher wins scholarships
Erik Stout, a student researcher in the Motor Systems Neurophysiology laboratory of Irina Beloozerova, PhD, has won National Merit and Flinn undergraduate scholarships, and is now enrolled at the ASU Fulton School of Engineering. He graduated in the top one percent of his class at Desert Vista High School in Phoenix.
Stout joined the Beloozerova Lab in the fall of 2005 as a participant of Barrow’s High School Student Research Program. During his first two years in the program, he mastered the technology of neuron-physiological experiments by learning to precisely record movements of the body and limbs, and the associated activity in the motor area of the cerebral cortex.
Last year, he developed his own experiment, which was designed to answer how learning affects the routine activity of neuronal populations, and conducted and analyzed experiments. Stout continues his research in hopes that understanding the mechanisms of learning will solve certain challenges faced by the neuroprosthetics industry and will provide insight important to rehabilitative care.
