03 Apr 07: Grenoble, France
The NanoBio-RAISE project is proving to be very exciting. This week, we visited the hospital in Grenoble and witnessed a surgical procedure with a patient who has Parkinson's Disease. Professor Benabid informed us that this occasion was the deepest they have gone with the brain electrodes. It was a fascinating insight.
