Dr Donald Richardson
Fran Simon has an article in Tulane's New Wave rag about Dr Donal Ricardson's upcoming appearance on ABC's Miracle Workers: Calming a Storm in the Brain. The episode will air on 13 March at 9 pm Central time. He will be implanting a deep brain stimulator in Emily Bresler, who has Tourette syndrome. Since childhood she has "jerked and jumped with involuntary motion, making guttural noises and uttering curse words." Emedicine has an article about this that indicates the problem lies with dopaminergic cells in the ventral striatum, which is what we're studying right now, so this isn't complete procrastination. Yay, me.
