Join us on the pathway to hope
From better understanding neurological conditions, to developing new prevention and treatment methods, to piecing together the puzzle that may one day lead to cures - your donation changes lives.
Deep Brain Stimulation - a life-changing procedure explained
A life-changing procedure for Parkinson’s patients is featured in a new video. We teamed up with neurologist Dr Viswas Dayal & his patient, Stephen Goodman, to create an educational video about Deep Brain Stimulation – a procedure that can vastly improve the quality of life of someone with Parkinson’s disease. Watch the video.
YOUR DONATION GOES TOWARDS:
Discovery
Right now, an NZ-based team is screening human brain cells obtained from epilepsy surgery to discover compounds that can reduce brain inflammation. This work that could lead to crucial advances in drug development.
Prevention
Science has shown that repeated head knocks can have terrible consequences. World-leading, NZ-based concussion research is helping inform new sports protocols, keeping Kiwis safer while still enjoying the pastimes they love.
Diagnosis & Treatment
Tears can reflect someone’s overall health and wellbeing. Now, researchers are exploring the amazing possibility of using them to diagnose Parkinson’s disease. Early diagnosis could lead to early treatment, improving quality of life for thousands of Kiwis.
Cures
Batten disease affects children, is always fatal and, sadly, there’s no known cure – yet. Now, NZ-based research is bringing the possibility of life-saving gene therapy closer, hopefully preventing the disease altogether.
