Feinstein Institute neuroscientist wins top honor in Parkinson's research

and related disorders very early on in the disease development process -- a discovery that allows doctors to initiate appropriate treatments sooner, optimizing the long-term outcome for patients.

Among the many previous recipients of the Springer Award are Nobel Prize winner Arvid Carlsson, Oleh Hornykiewicz, Stanley Fahn and C. David Marsden. Dr. Carlsson first discovered that dopamine is a key chemical messenger in the brain that controls movement, which led to the discovery by Dr. Hornykiewicz that insufficient dopamine is what causes symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Dr. Hornykiewicz then went on to develop L-dopa as a treatment for Parkinson's, which remains the cornerstone of therapy today. Drs. Fahn and Marsden together founded the field of movement disorders.
