Parkinson’s disease and the research that could offer new treatments are the subjects of a Michigan State University professor’s presentation here later this month. MSU College of Human Medicine Professor Jack Lipton will offer his insight at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 18, at the Towsley Auditorium in MidMichigan Medical Center, at Saginaw and Orchard. Admission is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Call the MidMichigan Health Line at 800-999-3199. Lipton is among several researchers studying topics — including ways to overcome resistance to medications for movement disorders, possible protective effects of “deep brain stimulation,” adult stem cells and brain repair, and the effect of stress and depression on Parkinson's disease — at MSU’s Udall Center of Excellence for Parkinson’s Disease Research, a media release indicates.
